I documented our walk this morn check it out. These 2 are our friends the Slobber Puss Boxers we love them and greet them at the fence each day.

I am in a visual mode, getting ready to paint our front door red. Spring is in the air.

Onward!

I have a hegit

Hegit is what we called head aches when I was a kid. Yesterday was a bear, like it felt like a bear was in my head, fighting with another bigger bear! So I am a day late on Tracey Face Tuesday. I am going to keep this short too, because looking at the computer screen hurts. ..it makes the bears angry!

You can check out the rest of week 4 Tracey Face Tuesday portraits here. The theme on week 4, is a girl and her dog. The dog has a little man living in him. It is like a situation comedy, he has a grumpy old man voice and says sarcastic things about me but I can't hear them, I just see the cuteness.

Spring Rain

New seeds of hope. The Big Irish Head has delicious recipes all planned out for these guys. They are off to a good start with two straight days of rain.

Each day brings more yellows and purples...
The colors of Spring in my back yard reminds me of some old 50's post cards. I would never pick these colors to go together. But in nature in my yard, it is lovely.

I planted in the rain. The soil was perfect. I was a bit late, but the season is long and forgiving here. Each hour that went by the colors in the yard got richer, greener and stronger. We are off to a great start to the growing season...I can almost taste the egg plant parmigiana!

Frankenstein Friday

Happy Frankenstein Friday! As you can see, our hero is feisty and ready to play!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

....and a special welcome to the world to Hollis!

watching the 5000 fingers of Dr. T again...

If you can't view this....it proves that Love is the answer. About a half hour ago, I heard them calling to each other. I went out in the yard to find them in our tree canoodling (yep canoodling, just like the movie stars!) It is defiantly love.
He is sharing his favorite hunting spots with his new girl. They fly off together in the end....
Coopers Hawks in love....

ominous view of hawk in flight

Just in case you can't view the video here is a photo in the same vein. The video is not a great one, I took it yesterday. The camera work is shaky and the video is out of focus and it is exactly how I feel.

Half of the people I know are doing crappy, with a list of bad things piling up, like dirty laundry on Sunday. The other half is on cloud 9! Gaining ground in wonderful and enriching ways.

Like this lovely bird of prey. Brutally killing, yet lovely and flying over head in swooping circles.

Births, deaths new romance and dead ends....it is all happening on the World Ball! I am here watching from the ground just trying to keep it all in focus.

onward....
