SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES
Yesterday I took some pictures of signs of spring in our yard. The trees are in bloom, the grass is so green it seems to give off a phosphorescent glow. We have tulips, daffodils, bleeding hearts, grape hyacinth, phlox, and pansies, blooming in our yard. I always love the springtime, especially the smell in the air. I open the windows and let it in. Nothing freshens a house like spring time air.
My peas, lettuce, spinach and radishes are just peeking out of the soil in our grow boxes.
If you are feeling a little envious of this perfect springtime, the grass isn't always greener. It's a good thing I took pictures yesterday. Today winter has come back for an encore. It has been cold and blustery. We woke to find our neighbor's trampoline in our yard. A school flagpole in our district was bent in the wind. It had to be cut down to avoid further damage. I'm OK with winter coming back, though. I will get caught up on the housework again and enjoy the warm fire a little longer. I did get all my quilt blocks made. The only problem is, one set is slightly larger than the other. This weather will give me time to solve this problem as well.
You bought the Vibe! Good. I really like that charcoal color. It's funny because I was really just telling Brent the day before we talked to you that if we were to buy another 5 seater, I would want a Vibe/Matrix. And although it would be incredibly nice to have a Mazda5, it really sounded like you got a much better deal on this. Your yard is beautiful and I'm glad you got some nice pictures before the weather took a turn. I can't believe the neighbor's trampoline had blown into your yard! Wow.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the vibe. That's my favorite color for a car. I think this may be the coolest car you have ever owned, Mom. Your garden looks great. You must be the envy and pride of the neighborhood.
