Blooming willows, and an old house. When we were kids we pretended it was haunted, but the worst thing we actually ever found there were snake eggs. lol Quince bushes blooming.

The willow tree. I LOVES that green!


Forsythia bushes blooming.
And last, a plum tree in bloom.

Bringing in Spring!

Spring green is my favourite color! Anna and I spent the day building rock piles in the woods...part of the day, anyway. : )


My flowers finally bloomed! It seems like they took FOREVER this year...I'm so glad to see them!
These have been bloomed for almost a week now. They're in the front yard, and bloomed earlier.

03-09-09

We went out yesterday, and I have lots of nice new pictures to share. : ) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the green of the cress! Spring makes me so happy. : )
A corner, with dead leaves....I thought afterwards I should have tried it with Anna in it, too.


These next few are the view from Copper Ridge...LOVE that view!





Train track and tunnel...and sunbeams! I didn't see the sunbeams until I loaded the pics on the computer...I thought they made the picture nicer.


We came across this coolest old house. There is a sign not too far (about a mile or so) from it that talks about the first settlers moving into the area about 1780, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if this house wasn't from that era. It's logs, under the siding, but the roof is damaged (on the left in the picture) and the loft is already destroyed, so the floor won't be far behind, then the walls will come down.....it's a shame, it's too nice a house to let fall down. A couple pieces of tin would fix the problem. : (

The house is on one of the rockiest farms I've ever seen. The farmer has picked up all these rocks and piled them (I wondered why he didn't go ahead and make stone walls with them). There were lots of smaller piles around the property, this was the largest and neatest pile...most of the others were just tossed into piles.

We went out today, and Daddy took a new (to us) road. This house was at the end of the road. Also this creek...

and again...


The bridge over the creek.

And the mill standing beside the creek.
We also stopped by a park, with geese floating.
And a bridge to pose on. ; )





An old log in the water.
And DAFFODILS! BLOOMING!!! I LOVE SPRING! : )
This was last night...Emma dressed Oscar in her doll's jacket.

A Girl's Gotta have Some Green!

I LOVES me some green! Especially in Spring! Winter is always so brown and grey...green in spring thrills me to the soul!

Goodnight, Moons!

God Bless the moons! ; ) Late moon.
Early moon.



LOTS of Great Pics

I'm not sure which pictures to post, I took so many good ones today!
The possum which came to see us. Ferns in a little hollow between some rocks...mossy rocks, too. Bonus points! lol
The stream.
The stream at a different place....and notice the cool moss-stuff on the left side near the bottom. It's interesting mossy stuff, but I don't know it's name or anything about it. And one more stream picture. I LOVE being near water.

Spring is Coming!

My tulips and daffodils are coming up in the backyard. : ) And my chives and garlic are greening up beautifully in my herb garden.

Whatever this is (lol) is such a lovely green. There is lots of it growing in the backyard, sometimes it blooms little white flowers in the summer.

And this...this is the magnolia tree Emma transplanted to our back yard. It's leaves have gone a little yellow....I hope it doesn't die.

I'm back...With a New Camera!

I LOVE my new camera! I'm not used to it yet....I keep forgetting it, then see something and say, Oh, I wish I had a camera! lol

The picture for today was actually taken a couple days ago...it rained all day and I didn't want to risk my new camera in the rain ; ) so I took this picture through the window, with my new....thingey.....hanging in the window.

I like my new thingey, too. I found it at a thrift store, when we went to drop off several bags of things...it was all tangled up and messy, but I like a challenge, so I bought it....actually, I don't believe the lady even charged me for it. She thought it was hopeless. It's cheery now, especially on a grey, wintery, rainy day.
