Spring Sprang!

Things are really greening up around our parts. How about you? We have tulips and daffodils blooming, and the redbuds just caught fire with their gorgeous purplish tips this week! Here are some new photos!

Here's one of our neighborhood woodpeckers going after the suet! He's so big!

A new birdhouse being guarded by a gnome in Mom's garden!

A little cottage has a nice view of a newly opened tulip! And there's one of the ducks I got for my birthday last week! Isn't he sweet!?

Longing for Spring

Bird Gazing

These are my cats, Lily (petite, in the window) and Spooky (large and downcast). During the warmer months you never see these two indoors. But it's Winter now, and you can see they are quite depressed about it. I keep the kitchen window sill mostly cleared off to accommodate furry perchers. They sit and stare at the bird feeders, and you can just see the want in their fuzzy faces. Soon the weather will clear and they will be out hunting once again. But for now, the finches, cardinals, bluejays,  and occasional woodpecker rule the porch. :)
