Spring pics

 I pass this sweet little lady often on the road and think she is so cute!  I sat and talked to her while I took some pics. People always say how dumb sheep are, I think they have great personalities.  I have a soft spot for sheep. In high school, I did 4-H with as sheep.  By the time it was ready to get rid of it, I couldn't do it.  I wanted it for a pet.  I thought if Mom can have a couple of horses around then I could have a sheep.  A couple of weeks after the fair and I thought I was out of the woods, I came home to no sheep.  Mom had sold it for meat.  I was devastated.  One day I will have a place where I can have a field full of sheep.  Spring is all around us.  Dandelions are all over, trees are in full bloom and bulbs and blooming.  Everything is sooooo green.

 It's nice to get the occasional break in the rain where we can walk down to the bus stop without full rain gear.  Troy and Olivia are such goof balls together.  Their sense of humor is in sinc with eath others.  

 I love watching them joke around.  As long as I'm not the joke!

 Our frog has returned this year.  He's gotten so big.  When the sun is out, he out warming himself.  I can get pretty close before he jumps in the pond.  There is a smaller frog too this year.  We are going to have to do some repairs on the waterfall soon and are hoping we don't disturb Mr. Frog too much.  He's fun to watch.

So green already

 I always comment to people that it's always green here all year round.  This spring however seems to be popping up a little sooner than expected for me.  Everything seems to be brighter right now.  Not surprising coming out of our very dark winters.  The Swans are already in the fields making my favorite sounds.

 Everywhere  you look there is moss.  Every shade of green possible.  I don't know why I have a fascination with moss.  Maybe because it seems magical or fairy like.  I got a close up pic of the moss.  They're so tiny, reaching for the sun.

 

 The very first of the bulbs to pop up this year.  Of course I cut them and brought them into the house.  I couldn't resist having the little sunny flowers to brighten up my family room.

 One day last week I grabbed the two older girls and made them go down to the pond with me.  I wanted to collect a bunch of pussy willows to have in the house.  It's a La Rae thing.  Mom would always find some to decorate with every spring. 

There had been so much rain, the pond was to high for me to go to the back to get some.  I ended up with two little branches.

 Olivia had been sick so I told her to stay inside.  She couldn't resist the sunshine and followed us outside.  It's amazing what a little fresh air does for a person.

This is usually my daily look.  Scrubs, tee-shirt and snow boots.

 Go a shot of Logan coming up the lane for a visit.

I'm just getting restless to get out and do some gardening.  Every day there is something new coming up!
