Springing into Saturday

We rose before the sun this morning to a frosty lawn and the hope of another glorious Spring day. Stopped at the PO to drop off the DirecTV receivers. This lovely card made by MOM was waiting in the POB.  It says They say "This too shall pass". They just never say WHEN. On the inside: Hang In There. Mom is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator - just one of her many creative talents.

The card was such a nice surprise that I decided to pay it forward and take Bandit for a longer than normal morning walk.Went to one of the side roads off Drowny Road. Found this heart shaped rock just laying in the middle of the path. Kept it as a memento. Guess I'm picking up Bandit's rock hound habit.



Lots of new growth out there. Trillium's are budding, buttercup leaves galore and a few remaining spring beauties. Plus one plant I didn't recognize. The camera was at home (along with ID, cash, bottle of water, whistle, compass -- DUH!). Will be taking all with us later this afternoon and post some wildflower shots.

Have some Red-Breasted Grosbeaks at the feeder. Keep trying to get a good photo of them, but they're fast.
