It is spring!
A spot of sun casts it's warmth on a portion of the bed and Taboo has
made this spot just right for a good nap, soaking in as much of the warm comfort as he can.
He opens his eyes just long enough, allowing me to take a photo, then closes them again for
much of the remainder of the chilly morning.
Outside the wind is already howling as it carries the dust and dirt from the
neighboring fields across the prairie pastures. As quiet as March arrived, it seems it
wants to roar as it leaves.
I have changed my mind about closing my embroidery blog, Yesteryear Embroideries
and thank you to so many who emailed to encourage me to change my mind.
I am delighted that you enjoy looking at the things I post there. So if you
go back to visit, you will see a new post on some of the things I have been busy
creating.
There have been a lot of deer showing up in the yard just before the sun
ends the day. They come for a drink of water and to eat the remaining seed
that the wild birds have left in the feeder.
We finally managed to get a dumpster service at our house.
It has been great to have someone come to pick up the trash that
we no longer have to take to a dump.
However, this has created another problem.
Two times now, we have discovered a raccoon has
gotten into the dumpster, but cannot get out.
We have had to tip the dumpster over, which is not
an easy feat, and then have to encourage the raccoon to get out.
Each time, they are glad to run away. Now we have to strap down
the lids of the dumpster to prevent them from getting into there again.
Spring is showing up in the blossoms of plants here and there.
The Italian Jasmine usually blooms in January, but
because of the severe drought we are facing, it is just now
blooming. It is such a cheery plant!
I made a chicken pie for our dinner and decided to take some extra
time to decorate the top. Do you ever do this?
Has spring started springing up in your back yard?
I hope this finds you are having pretty days and
warm spring weather!
