SPRING HAS ARRIVED??...

 

We have been on a wild ride

 these last few months.  

Old Man Winter has thrown every trick

 in the book at us.

  There is still white stuff on the ground.  Now it isn't snow, it's hail.  

Last evening

 there were loud bursts of thunder

 and lightening that lit up the whole sky.  

The sun peeks through periodically 

and spring is here. 

 We are hopeful.

The floor looks like this each morning.  

It is Rugby's arsenal 

and even though 

all the squeakers are long gone, 

they still are his pride and joy.  

There is only one that still squeaks...

...the owl.

  By squeaking him at the door 

is the only way to get Rugby

 to come in from outside. 

 He loves it that much!

  Being outside and the owl, 

and so far the owl is winning!

The kids sent us this pretty the other day.  

It arrived when it was dark and dreary

 and between 

the flowers and the butterflies 

it brightened up our moods considerably.

We have managed to get ourselves

 up off of the couch

 and from out in front of 

the TV for awhile

 to accomplish this...

I'm sure you remember 

when the library looked like this?

Now, 

it looks like this...

...and this. 

 It will continue to stay like this. 

 Where have you heard that before?

Hope spring has arrived in your neighborhood 

and that we all 

will get to reap her benefits soon.
