THE SNOW, IS FINALLY ALL MELTED

We didn't get any more snow like they predicted and the snow we had in piles around our yard are finally all melted. A sure sign of Spring so I got my porch planters out and in place ready to plant some flowers.... yipee. It felt so good to get out and just get the 4 porch pots ready. i need a bit more dirt in them but otherwise they are ready to go.... More little flowers are blooming too and the couple in back of me are cleaning up their yard too. we did most of what they are doing last fall so Leo is fishing. He went with Rick since he is not working yet so they should have a good time and let me alone to do whatever I please with no one to give me their thoughts about what I'm doing.... hehe He doesn't always like the pots on the porch but I do.... didn't put them there last year so its my turn this year, hahaha. thats what he gets for leaving me alone, right?
Hope your having a happy day, Sandra

FLOWERS ARE STARTING TO BLOOM

Even if the flowers are starting to bloom we are supposed to get up to 6 inches of snow again.... it will melt soon though so we don't really care. its good for the grass etc. :) there are a lot of people going for walks again now the weather is getting better. Its been a long winter and everyone is anxious I think.
My hand still hurts when I type, maybe its just artheritis now..... after all Iam 72.. :( Ive been rubbing a cream on it and then it feels better for awhile.
After the new snow melts I will take some pictures of my flowers..... I don't think the snow will bother them too much yet as they are just starting to bloom.

MOUNTAIN ASH

There were a lot of Cedar waxwings on the tree today.... so I put in 2 pictures and I found out you can click on the pictures to make them bigger too.... The Robins usually eat them too. they must be tasty after a long winter

Cedar Waxwings


The cedar waxwings were eating the berries on the tree today. They sure are beautiful birds. It's a very cloudy day today but the birds still are pretty. I don't know if you can tell but they have a tail tipped in yellow and wings tipped in red.... so pretty. I had to take the picture through the window in my kitchen...I wonder if this can be clicked on to make it larger.... I wish
Our snow is almost gone now and soon I will be able to get some pictures of my daffodils and some other flowers too. Hope you are enjoying spring too

sore hand

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE
Happy happy days are here again.... lol
I am having a hard time with this because someone at church shook my hand so hard I can't type with it without it hurting so I have to hunt and peck this entry.... I hope it gets better soon because its 2 weeks already and it still hurts.... wonder what the guy was thinking......
anyway its a beautiful sunny day today and I got out a bit to take some leaves off some little bushes in front. I just planted them last year and it looks like all but one are doing very well. If the one doesnt come back I can always plant a new one.... I can hardly wait for the greening up of the yard.
Have a nice day
Sandra
