The Apple Of Our Eye

Our little princess has the most contagious smile.

Our lives are blessed.

 

 

Rebirth

A gentle rain has fallen for much of the morning, but not to be discouraged,  my plans of cleaning around the pond stayed on track.

It always amazes me that despite the freezing water,  soon after Spring arrives, the sound of croaking, once again returns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cold, wet leaves

Floating on moss-colored water

And the croaking of frogs -

Cracked bell-notes in the twilight.

The Growing Season

The new spring grass is growing at a phenomenal rate, I suspect it has something to do with all of the rain that fell throughout the months of February and early March.

 "April showers, Bring May flowers"

Except a little early....

 

 

 

Growing

Friday's are very special days for us.

On those days we are fortunate to be the caretakers of our sweet little great-granddaughter Ensley Kate.

She reached a milestone last week of turning six months old, she has two bottom teeth, and more coming in.

This beautiful little bundle of joy brings so much pleasure to our lives, we couldn't be more blessed.

Batten Down The Hatches

The wind is blowing a gale.
Birds are literally flying sideways.
Each time I look out of the window, the windmill is turning a hundred miles an hour, if only I knew how to convert that energy into electricity, my utilities would be free for a month !

It's a balmy 77 degrees today, in early March, we are headed for a night of thunderstorms, and mayhem.

March madness no less.

 

On Hold

My plans were to start a little outdoor spring cleaning this weekend, but you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice and men.........

The weather has turned wet and cold, with whispers of snow in the forecast,  so most of the cleaning will take place on the inside, accompanied by a cozy fire, and pots of tea galore.

Hoping your weekend is warm and cozy.

 

 

Mid-Week Indulgence

The sun is shining brightly, I've treated ourselves to a little mid-week treat.

Love the name of the bakery "Sticky fingers bakeries".

February Days

The rain has finally stopped.

Our state has endured the most rainfall on record in the past 139 years for the month of February, rivers are out of their banks, livestock has been moved to higher ground.

The grass is growing at a crazy rate, the little toad house has been occupied more than once this rainy season, the frogs are happy....
