The...


The lady cardinal is taking her bath while she and her mate chirp at each other.

The turtle is on her sunning stone in the middle of her pond.

The wind gently blows the wind chime giving me a tune.

The garden is almost completely turned with shovel and hands.

The vegetables in their little cardboard tray wait to be planted.

The ginkgo tree is covered in little leaves and the red tip photinia has burst into bloom.

The red shouldered hawk soared over us and swooped low over the 13 acre field.

The small gray hawks are having territorial issues.

The grandkids have returned home and the boy already wants to come back.

The kitchen is a mess but the day is calling me outside.

    Pretty much summed up our week outside, minus the 13 acres, but with a spastic dachshund running amok, smelling it ALL.

    Yes, spring.

    holding the pieces still makes them "the" and you are so not a "the" person . . . but sometimes that's how we get to hold the pieces . . . steven
