This morning we had a coating of snow but that is gone now and the sun is maybe coming out. Yesterday was pretty nice but still chilly and we mostly just did chores. It was fun the last two nights seeing the Indians playing baseball in Puerto Rico. 22 years ago they played a pre-season game...

It was warm and the birds were active with lots of early spring migrants plus butterflies and dragonflies for our anniversary. Credits: background a blend of three papers -paper, transfer: Oscraps Collab Good Times -paper: 52 Inspirations {2018} no. 8 by Vicki Stegall -paper, transfer...

Love the fresh, clean look of this and the nostalgia connection too.

Today we're back to snow! Only a little, but WTH? Actually it finally looks like it's almost gone but I made sure to take a few pictures. Just regular stuff to do today. Chris, Cait must be so relieved to have the court stuff over and had fun with her cousin and her rats. As I read I was...

Here too it is turning spring, at least part of the time. My week 15 was pretty special and the weather cooperated too.

Wow, we had such a lot of rain yesterday. At Hum & Strum DH learned about lots of nearby flooding and some folks with water in their basement. Our sump pump worked hard and our basement is dry, so we're good. Cooler today and still gray. Hope we don't get more rain. Felis saw it, but if you...

Well I took to long to write and cross posted with both Trudy and Felis! That's a new one for me. Trudy, your shopping sounds positively wonderful and more great stuff today. Felis, that almost summer weather sound so good! Enjoy.

Yesterday was wonderful. Thanks for all the good wishes. A friend called to wish a happy anniversary then we had long talk with BIL who sent flowers the day before. Finally, we spent a little time birding and it was warm with lots of early spring migrants that were very active. That was...

It may be Friday the 13th to some but to us it's our 50th anniversary! Chose the date (then on a Saturday) intentionally. Then it was also in the 70s and this time we're birders and are going out to see what's happening in the bird world. Probably not back until tomorrow to comment. Sorry.

We have to leave in a bit for an appointment, so have to be brief. We're making this our week of new restaurants. Since we did somewhere new Tuesday for lunch and have a reservation for somewhere new to us Friday night, last night we went to a Mexican restaurant that's been open a few years but...

We borrowed this puzzle from the senior center but I wasn't looking forward to it. But when I worked on the part here, I loved the colors and pattern so much that I enjoyed the whole puzzle. Credits: -5 papers (blended different ways): Oscraps Collab Good Times (from CBD, AMD, ViVa, NBK, FS)...

Week 14 kept spring things coming, just not the weather. Last week's daffodil that would not bloom sort of did the next week.

It is really wonderful to have the baseball season in full swing! Wish the weather would catch up with it. Credits: all 52 Inspirations {2018} by Vicki Stegall -background: no. 8 -paper strip: no. 9, Hearts -transfers: no. 14 -leaf, paint: no. 15 fonts: Jane Austen, baby dont worry bout...

It is attempting to snow some more today as it did yesterday, but it is too warm to accumulate. How odd. A friend took us to lunch today but when we met at the restaurant, it wasn't open for lunch (though we've gone there before). We picked a casual place across the street instead. I think our...

This is one of the many county courthouses I photographed some years ago. It is old and rather handsome. Credits: AnnaLift of Portland Headlight' by CarolynMc https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=390712&title=portland-headlight&cat=1351 by Anna Aspnes -background...

Gray but not bad here today and we're happy to have filed our taxes. Well, happy that it's done anyway. Friend called while I was writing this and I've lost my train of thought. Hoping for good or better day for all.

Yesterday we had a nice day with an entertaining speaker. Last night I worked on Ona's challenge and found it fun and now find it got a standing O - what a super surprise. Tonight I'm making dinner from leftovers and watching a movie. Chris, so sorry you are in such a state today. Hope...

Kerstin, the tough guy and I thank you so much!
