SOL 3/31 - Is Spring Coming?

While we have enjoyed an awesome winter here in the Ozarks - a little snow, a tad of ice and sleet, lots of sunshine and warmer temps from November thru February, I'm still looking forward to spring.

And now, March has arrived - it came in like a lamb and seems to want to continue being mild.

As I sat out on the front porch yesterday, I looked over the pond and could see a green tinge on the weeping willows.  The wild daffodils are in full bloom.  Batches of crocuses are sticking their heads thru.  We cut down the Pampas Grass only to find a bunch of Naked Ladies poking their foliage out of the ground.

Could it be, is it really here?  The forecasters are predicting some 70 degree days for the weekend.  I'm lovin' it.  Spring is my favorite season - a new beginning - a renewal of life.

    Please say it's so! I'm noticing swelling tree buds, daffodils, and even a tulip tree blooming. Let's hope more warmth is in store.

    Your words have painted quite the beautiful picture. It sounds like a lovely place to be.

    I agree with you Judy! Even with mild winters in New Mexico I still love the first signs of spring. Am I getting spoiled ;-)

    We must have the lion here. Strong winds shook the house the other night. They are calling for one to three inches of snow tonight. 70 degrees by Wednesday. I am ready for the lamb.

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
