Backyard Finds

We had just a few of these stones showing but once we started digging we found more. Makes for a great walkway from the deck to the backyard.

Why we have a painted Easter egg in one of the garden's is beyond me.

I've been watching the bulbs poke their way through the soil, then I saw this.

Spring Is In The Air

I woke up this morning early to let the little puppy out and it was bitter cold with frost on the ground. I even had to warm up the car to defrost the windshield. However when I left work later that evening, I came out to find it almost 60 degrees and clear skies. I was so excited!
My boyfriend decided to clean up the yard. After raking leaves he came across some bulbs that are starting to come up. As new home owners we aren't exactly sure what is in our back yard just yet. We supposedly have a lilac tree, blueberries and raspberry bushes, and a few raised flower beds that who knows what the past home owners used for. Here's a picture of the back yard when we first looked at the house this past fall.

Winter, Where's Spring?

I'm so tired of the snow! This past weekend we had a really bad snow storm that put the car in front of me off the road. I was going a measly 40 miles/hr on a state highway, covered with snow and ice, when all of the sudden the other car spun out of control! Luckily I was able to slow down, even come to a stop! I wasn't sure where the car was going to land after doing a complete 360. After they hit the bridge, I pulled over and reported the accident. Thankfully no body was hurt!
While snow is falling in Vermont, my brother and sister-in-law are enjoying what Florida has to offer. Do you think that they are shoveling the driveway or de-icing the windshield, nope, they are taking bicycle rides and planting gardens. So I'm just going to stop the ranting and wish that some of that Florida weather would get here already!

Todays Sweet Thing

While working at the cafe today, I overheard complaints about the weather.

We're having severe wind conditions,

rain/sleet and possibly snow later this evening.

It isn't even winter yet! In hopes of lifting spirits I've chosen this photograph, Little Bird Sings Spring Song, 5x7 available for $10 from http://www.malamoosephotography.etsy.com/ . Other sizes are available upon request.
