Spring

I've mentioned before how much I struggle with posting, what I haven't mentioned is that I have even more trouble with self control. I know I will never be a good, efficient blogger if I don't stop reading everyone else's blog and get down to writing my own. But what's a girl to do with so many interesting blogs out there? Of course, that is a retorical question. :)

Today I'm going to try, once again, to put the pictures in where I want them with some sort of text around them. Good luck to me.

Here is what one of my flower beds looked like April 2. Lots of snow had already melted, but lots more to go.

Here's my poor lion who lives at the end of the driveway.

There was one flower out that day, in an abandoned flower bed. One little crocus. This flower bed is out by the highway and is quite exposed to the elements. Very dry most of the summer. I'm thinking about reclaiming it, but that's another story.

The day after these pictures were taken, we had snow. Now, fast forward to yesterday, April 9.

The crocus were beginning to pop up everywhere.

Today it's rained all day. We even had our first
thunderstorm. You can actually watch the snow
recede.
