So long winter...


(Deep Breathe) I love spring! It's as though all of my friends are coming home for a visit or returning from a seasonal journey and staying at my house! I'm speaking of my precious friends growing in my very, very tiny piece of earth. They may not impress anyone other than myself, and I am completely okay with that! If I only had 1 pitiful little daffodil, I would probably feel contenment.


As corny as this may sound, I felt this tree kind of resembles the survivals that we undergo, yet can't let go of the things that have passed or been spent. Through the winter, this tree has survived, yet never did it let go of the leaves that needed to be returned to the ground...

A pinched version of a beach, Springfield, Ohio has a wonderful reservoire that, though it may contain a bit of urine and beer bottles, displays a beautiful bit of scenery for all of us to appreciate if we allow it. The snow gives us the feeling of white sandy beeches...



The snow and ice began to melt in the warm, 60 degree weather. I thought it made beautiful patterns in the slush covered body of water.






Gotta love my kitty, Sophia.

As the winter was leaving and the snow began to subside, often I'd awake to see a mist of humidity scaling around our neighborhood. I truly love waking up to sights like this.



This "in flight" bumble bee loves my redbud!






My redbud makes me feel like a great gardener! It always grows so fast and shows up right away!


When these (there were 3!) birds flew overhead while we were at a park a few days ago, I thought a kite was flying overhead! It's wingspan was so large that it shadowed the sun atop our heads. Neat!

  1. Yeah... I shoulda put that.. One tried to kill me last summer. Actually there were like 3 and they were mad abt something. Hovering really low. Totally freaked me out! I ran inside the house after abt the third flight over my head. I think it grazed my hair! I luv nature at a distance! LOL!
