SOL 16/31 Is it Finally Here?

Sunday was one of those days
The moon waning high in the morning sky
The sun - bright, orange, glowing, rising over the lake
Some fog hovering in the low lands
The temperature climbing higher
A slight breeze coming out of the south
Sitting in a chair on the front porch
Reading a book
Soaking up the warmth of the sun
Taking an afternoon walk
Seeing daffodils in bloom
Could there be a tinge of green on the trees?
Is it only a tease?  Only for today?
Or, is this truly the beginning of SPRING?

    Wonderfully descriptive poem--and yes, we saw buds on trees yesterday! Waiting on my first robin sighting to confirm. :-)

    I look out and see the buds on our trees and know that Spring in on its way. Saw our first robin in the yard on Saturday.

    Crossing my fingers there are no more frigid blasts from the north. Yesterday and today look to be picture perfect.

    Yes, it's here! Enjoy it because you know it will go fast and soon we'll be complaining that it is too hot ...

    I felt like I was sitting on the front porch with you! When you see green on the trees, there's no turning back!

    Yep, it's here, but we can still have snow sometime too. Today was 80, tomorrow back in the fifties. Mercurial spring. But, today was heavenly to have the windows open!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
