OT - Signs of Spring! :o)

Gemini, I would like to smack you! Here we are, off school due to a blizzard, and you are talking about signs of spring! Aaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!

Higs, Kather> What a gorgeous day here (although it's very cold out and quite

so-o-o-oooo, what do you whack her with, Katherine? wet yarn? Hugs, Noreen

running and ducking!

ROTFLMAO Sorry, Katherine! *giggling* I'm NOT, really! hehehe

Hey, I *did* say it's still cold outside! ;o)

Gemini

Gem,

It is so windy here in Jersey that some of the birdfeeders have blown clear outta the trees! We have lost some roofing on the coops, but all the left over leaves have blown out of the gardens to who knows where! Just lots of sticks to pick up by this weekend.

It ushered in a cold front, in the 20's again with the wind, but the daffs are starting to come out of the ground along with some other early risers.

Still the sun shines and I am glad that spring is on it's way. I am ready to do yard work again and get some fresh air.

I am glad you are seeing the birds. Don't ya love their songs in the morning, the cooing of the doves, and WAIT !! what was that noise on my house???? Just Woody Woodpecker doin' his thing! Yep! we got lots of them, they love the suet DH puts out. He melts shortening and mixes it with seed and freezes it. Then he puts them in a pre-bought suet holder. It is a big hit. I just hope my gutters hold out!

Can't you see them, Noreen...!! First Gemini running, then Katherine with the wet yarn! LOL!

Gemini, scared to death, just because she said that she loves spring....

here is Katherine with the wet yarn... not too angry, I hope! they end up as best friends! of my SPRING fairytale! LOL)AUD;-))

Aud, I 'could' 'see' them, but your panorama really was GREAT, thanks for sharing! Hugs, Noreen laughing uproariously!

Today? A snowball!

Higs, Kather> so-o-o-oooo,

ROTFL!!! That is hilarious, Aud!

Higs, Katherine

True. And I must say that I enjoyed my day off. I cleaned out Kandace's bedroom, ending up with one bag of garbage, and one bag of clothes for a friend of mine. Plus I knitted, and I was able to read for a while. Not a bad day, all in all.

Higs, Kather> ROTFLMAO Sorry, Katherine! *giggling* I'm NOT, really! hehehe >

now, children, play nice. there had not be any rocks inside those snowballs young lady!

Snerk, Noreen

Here we have crocuses and daffodils and primroses blooming. My camelia is about done - it blooms in February and March. The grass is green but the sky is rarely blue this winter -- mostly grey and rainy. We did almost get snow last week though (it snowed near here and we got a few big wet flakes but they didn't stick) and there is tons of it not far away in the mountains. Since we live next to Puget Sound that warm Japanese current in the Pacific does influence our weather and it is much milder here than our latitude would indicate.

I guess I had better run before Katherine gets after me too -- actually I am really running away - to Italy for the next week or so.

Eimear

I'd have to dig through several feet of snow to get to rocks, so I think she's safe!

Higs, Kather> now, children, play nice.

Have a great trip!

Higs, Katherine

Thanks, Katherine. Hope to have some pics to share when I return.
