Ahhh ... Spring

It's like the contented sigh of the year ... don't you find?


   
After such a long season as Winter ... when teeny hints of life poke their delicate little selves into the world ...




...and just there ... if you look very closely, you see the quiet stirrings of Mother Nature's design (look closely)


Then, you can observe the 'other', not so indigenous wild life ... they don't seem overly happy with Mommy and her camera






It was a burry day, despite the strength of the sun ... Cooper dawg was less than impressed with the fact that I had recently sheared him.

 

I enjoyed a little quiet time before the natives got restless ... time where I sat and sipped, and immersed myself in a glorious early Spring morning ... and coffee ... and finished "Room"


Yes, I really was there ... see my foot?

 
Then, it was time for a little child labor.


I promised if they collected the sticks from around the lawn, I'd light a bon fire in our little fire pit...


This one speaks to me ... I don't know why

 

It was Mom's birthday on Sunday ... this was the brunch feast we had in honor of it (yes, I cooked it)


Shorty decided the tulips needed a little something extra...
Woody was beat out after his day of romping about...

So was Cooper, now that I think of it ...


All in all, it was a great day ... one that I will cherish (at least until the next glorious Spring day - maybe next weekend?)

Lovely photos, lovely family, lovely fur babies! Glad you had a spring day to enjoy. You were due for a good one, weren't you?

This year, even I'm enjoying the advent of spring. =]

AAhhh Spring indeed!! I am wildly jealous, but I know my snow raking will eventually produce grass and a deck to sit on!!

I think that people who live in cold climes appreciate spring more. After short days and long nights of snow and cold, those first tender blades of greenery rejuvenate and bring joy to the ones who suffer winter in a much deeper and profound way than those who live in more equitable climates.
And...
Fire! Fire Goooood!

Isn't it lovely? I spent all weekend outside either raking or reading and drinking coffee on my deck. My own personal heaven.

Diggin' the new layout.

I know I have been a slacker on the fun MeMe's lately. I thought perhaps I might try to rectify this little problem and join in today with Chiefy and her highly fun theme. Without further ado: On Monday night, my hubs came home from work at his usual 10:30(ish) pm. I had recently awoken in my daughter's bed and come downstairs to watch one of my most fav shows (The Big Bang Theory ... don't judge me - it is funny!) ... I had fallen into a sound stupor while trying to get my brats beautiful darlings to go to sleep and I was barely coherent. My hubs had come in and then disappeared for a little while ... I thought it odd, but didn't dwell as my show was starting. When he finally came into the living room  with his plate of dinner, (yes, I save him a plate from our dinner to eat when he gets home) he asked me how I was feeling. I found that odd. I said: "Why?" in a highly suspicious tone. He didn't say anything else until the next commercial break. Hub...

This is dedicated to the one(s) I love .... (gotta sing it)

Yesterday was my 37th birthday. I was sick for the entire day and mighty worried I was in for a pretty miserable few days. I went to work and did my thing (I know I should have stayed home, but that is not the sort of place I work in) and the gals at my office threw a little lunch time party for me, complete with chinese food and cake ... and card and song and even a gift certificate for a hair-do at a local salon (okay - so you know your "do" is a "don't" when you get a certificate like this from your co-workers... unclench, Eyvi - I know I've been bitching about my hair for months ... I'm just funnin'). To them, I say TYVM ... for making me gain 5 more pounds... no, I'm kiddin' again - I am so touched. Thanks guys - you ROCK! I don't plan to spend a whole bunch of time yaking about the 'day' itself. It's just that birthdays have a tendancy to cause somewhat of a retrospective thought path ... especially when one is campe...

Okay - So I Am Livin' in a Dream World...

Yeah, yeah - I know what yer thinkin' ... whaz up wid the new look?? Dani-fly? Really? Well - it wouldn't fit any other way ... not really a sessy reason, but the truth. And the pic? A gal can dream, can't she? I am trying the whole 'positive projection' thang... and I positively would love to project THAT image. So, this is my new look for a while ... and yes, I change my furniture around this often. It would appear I bore easily when it comes to decor - even in cyber space. ************************************************************************************ Okay, I just hung up the phone from Mr Dragonfly. The conversation was mostly mundane up until this part: Mr D: Well hun, if you WANT to do some decorating (and no, I didn't) you could always go downstairs and grab that set of bush lights. Me: Bush lights? *snickers like a pervy teenaged boy* Mr D: *oblivious* Yeah, you know, the mini lights ... to decorate your bush. Me: Bahhh haa haa haa h...
