And Yet Another Sign of Spring...

We just completed our first (of many to come) 2017 trip to the nursery and bought 2 flats of flowers.  They will stay in the temporary greenhouse until it is warm enough for them to migrate outside. 

I love the nursery.  SO many plants representing infinite possibilities for gorgeous summer flower baskets.  I can't wait to go back and pick out new hanging baskets...and more flowers...and maybe some veggies...and a few kitchen utensils I decide I can't live without.  :P

Ah...Breakup

When the snow melts and the ground warms up and everything is the same color of grey...including the usually white dog. :(

Spring is SO here...

We had coffee on the deck this morning.  Granted, it was 40F with a bit of wind and I was wrapped in a blanket but it doesn't matter.  The sun is shining making it possible to ignore the few snow flurries in the air from the really dark cloud south of town.

The other telltale sign guaranteeing spring is here - Yeti doesn't want to stay outside on the deck because it is too hot in the sun.  He really doesn't like the sun on him.  He prefers clouds and snow.
I don't know how he would survive in Kansas where he was born.

We have a snowshoe hare living in our backyard.  It has been out every morning this week.  Absolutely gorgeous.  I hope I can get a picture of it next Sunday (Easter).  We would then have proof the Easter bunny lives and visits on Easter!!

Good Sunday to you!!

April Fool's Day

I like to stay in on April Fool's Day...you never know what is going to be a joke or reality. 

For example, we are currently in break-up and the roads are slushy, icy, mushy and messy.  Slower than normal speeds are almost required to avoid accidents.While driving to town this morning, some loser turned left in front of me and I had to step heavily on my brakes.  No accident occurred but I was saying...are you joking??? 

We did get another foot of snow this week.  Yeti loves it.  I have never had a dog dive in snow piles like he does.  It's nothing for him to come inside with his face completely covered to where he can barely see anything. 

 Happy April Fool's and be careful out there!
