Snowing with wild abandonment

We got up to rain, and as I was in the process of telling Roger I did not think we were going to get any snow at all, the rain changed to snow as I spoke.

It is the kind that sticks....it is the kind that makes me want to get out and tramp the woods...

It is the kind that calls to the child in all of us. 

Looking forward

As I was looking through my photos I kept seeing things I look forward to...things like being outside without sleeves of any kind.  Butterflies abd frogs

and just being able to enjoy observe nature.

Fresh vegetables sounds so good...

but one of the first things I look forward to is watching the dogwoods bloom!

The guardian...

As a few of you know I have been sick and so has Lorelei.  Her mom just sent me these pics...

Don't you just love her guard dog?  There is nothing quite so sweet as receiving photos/messages from kids and grand kids.   Specially ones that include photos.
