Well today was on the cool side 48 currently it is 43. Crocus have come and gone, other Spring flowers are sending forth hope.
Oh, you lucky gal you get to hear the peepers, they are so welcome.

[Soaring Feather]

Holy Moley, Ma you have snow. There are spots of snow around here, however in the wild and woolly country side there is still of snow around.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy. ((HUGZ))

YAY! Checks printed! Over the hump! Now if those dratted unforeseen problems would stop popping up each week.

Hope your mom is in a relatively quiet mood this evening so you can unwind.

Didn’t get a drop of rain last night. It sat to our northwest all afternoon and evening and ran out of steam by the time it finally moved down here. Oh well. Better luck next time.

[PROCON]

Hiya radu!

Like I told Kathy, it's been wet today, glad I mowed yesterday!

Just a bit of grocery shopping and avoiding puddles for me today.

I hope you and the brat cats had a nice day.

[luvie]

...till they all come home....

[radu]

48 degrees and no snow is still a lot better than what you had all winter but I’ve seen warmer temps up there recently. Won’t be long until they’re there to stay and all those spring flowers will pop open.

I’ve enjoyed the peepers at the pond since I found the site a few years ago. We don’t seem to have any here and I couldn’t hear them from inside the house any way.
Miss the great blue herons though. It stinks their nest blew out of the tree and they didn’t rebuild there. :-(

[luvie]

Purple smoke would distract me, too. LOL!

[left that other site]

Sad to say, my wrist hurt too much so I stayed home.

BUT!

Blue is HOME and my brother says it runs better than his newer Heritage Soft-tail.

I have a new student, a 14 year old boy who wants to rock out on electric guitar. :-)

[luvie]

NEVER forget!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

We stand the watch for those yet to return!

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

Getting settled in now that Major Crimes is over. Good season finale, it was, but it sucks the season is over already. Just love that show.

Yep, it WAS a good thing you mowed yesterday since you’re swampy today. Bummer you got stuck grocery shopping in the rain though.
We got no rain last night and it was sunny and hot today. Got our grocery shopping done in the dry.

Kittehs were brats earlier in the day but are settled down now. WHEW! Nice to have some peace in here for a change. LOL

[radu]

Howdy do, Conor. *HUGZ*

How was your day? Getting in any dirt time or are you just enjoying the pretties as they bloom?

[radu]

Howdy, LUV.

We NEVER forget!

How are things in your neck o’ the woods?

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Radu!

*HUGS*

I got some dirt time in yesterday and I paid for it today.

It's all okay, though - the Daffodils are fading but my Silver Sword Azaleas are in first bloom. Hostas are about 8 or 9 inches tall - should give me a good display this season.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.

[radu]

LOL! That sounds so familiar. Have fun one day and pay for it the next. But dirt time is such a pleasure, isn’t it? :-)

No azaleas here but our dogwoods are in full glory. One clump of purple-and-yellow Dutch irises is blooming as well as the Immortality irises.

[luvie]

Indeed, we do!

[luvie]

Howdy radu!

Well, it’s raining off and on. Not as heavy as I’d like, but still....there’s a large band of clouds to the SW of us and maybe later it’ll get heavier. Any amount is better than none, though. :)

Did you and the kittehs have a good day today? No bad storms, I hope!
