Buttercups and Daisies

Oh, the pretty flowers;
Coming ere the spring time,
To tell of sunny hours,
While the trees are leafless,
While the fields are bare,
Buttercups and daisies
Spring up here and there.

Ere the snowdrop peepeth,
Ere the crocus bold,
Ere the early primrose
Opes its paly gold---
Somewhere on the sunny bank
Buttercups are bright;
Somewhere 'mong the frozen grass
Peeps the daisy white.

~Mary Howitt~

Beautiful opening, ladies! That graphic reminds me of the hills of West Virginia, where you could smell the dirt from the freshly plowed fields, and apple pie cooking in the kitchen.

Thank you!

Just started a new project today - I don’t have internet access at my desk so I’ll be kind of scarce around here. Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Thank you all for keeping me pinged. Happy Spring to all of you. Just wanted to give an upadate. The Giz is still alive and well. He's gained some function in his back legs...still is deaf but loves to eat and is our baby.

I don't know if you remember when we adopted Susie, our latest mix, that we nicknamed her "mini-me" because she is a 25 lb. clone of the 60 lb Rusty who we lost last spring

What was funny is for awhile last month some talk show pundits referred to Obama and his pundits as mini and maxi me. BUT by the time I tried to tell Mr. D. I had a hit in the name it was all dropped all over the MSM. So...she's just Susie.

Am frustrated by the times and politics but am hanging in there. Love and hugs to you all!!!!! dutchess
