Grouch

We headed down to Nashville, Indiana day before yesterday. We just wanted to get out and see something else for a change. I wanted to go for one reason, but didn't want to because on the drive down there, there is just no opportunity to stop and take pictures. It is a fairly busy road with no place to pull over.

So, we were past Terre Haute, but not to Spencer, and came to a major 4-way stop....I asked Roger did he mind taking a different route...so we head south still on a major road for a ways. Then we started through the country. Though I still didn't take a lot of photos, we sure seen some beautiful places. Places I want to go back to, preferably in the fall...I think the ridges and rolling hills would really be beautiful.

However, I seen this sign...it isn't beautiful or anything. I have no idea what it means, but I thought it funny....and would love to know the story behind it.

We had little Miss Busy Body with us all day yesterday...when she is here she just stays busy. When we got her in the house, we could not get her out of the car seat quick enough to please her....she was straining at the straps. I told her mom, when she is standing by something such as an end table or whatever...if you watch her feet, one of them is constantly feeling for something to climb up on. I bet she will be able to climb trees by the age of two...well, maybe not that young. But she will want to.

A bath--who needs one?

Sarah sent me this short little video this evening...as you can probably guess by this, Lorelei loves to take a bath. And she gets mad if it gets shortened for some reason.
She also sent this little picture of her relaxing and watching Sesame Street.

One week ago....

This is a scene from a week ago....if they were closer, I would be driving by to see if they are still there or all melted. I feel sure they have at least fallen to the ground. Even though we have had a lot of melting, we still have snow on the ground. We had snow flurries this evening, and we are supposed to have snow showers tomorrow.

I have seen buzzards, but I am still watching for my first robin. I think I usually see the first ones in February. My lilac continues to have big buds, and somewhere we were I really noticed a big tree starting to get lots of buds. I suppose it is the number of daylight hours plus sunshine that triggers the growth.

Meanwhile, I will try to wait patiently for spring to appear.
