Spring may finally be showing up...

We have had some crazy winter into spring
weather this year in Maryland.

Several warm days in a row and
then temps dropping into the 20's.

Makes a gardener a bit crazy.
Covering up the tenders like hydrangeas
so that there may just be
some flowers this summer.

The forsythia, a sure sign of spring,
had the flowers freeze
on one of those freezing temperature nights
as did the bridal veil bush.

Appears though, that spring is finally showing up.
Lou, Lucy and I took a stroll through 

Cromwell Valley Park yesterday
and the signs are there.

Tadpoles in several of the ponds
are there in the thousands.

A green glow is beginning to show.

And weed or wildflower?
Doesn't matter does it?
Spring is finally Springing.

I Love Lucy...

Heading back to the house from
the Workshop this afternoon.
The Lucy look I got when
I wasn't moving fast enough.
"Hey Mom, it's cold out here! You coming?"

Doogie-Do...

 Thinking Lucy needs a haircut...
at least her bangs trimmed.

She got a bath yesterday and she's so fluffy.
And she smells good.
I try to bath her once a week
because she's in the Workshop
with sawdust and paint.
And also because she sleeps in our bed.
 

But it had been over 2 weeks and
the bath water looked like mud.
If you have a pooch,
how often do you bath him/her?

Happiness is...

Another August Birthday...

Our Sweet Lucy turned 10 earlier this month.
