Leaves

I find leaves almost as interesting as flowers.

White Flowers

Finally a Beautiful Spring Day!

We finally had two nice days in a row! I played hooky from work, something I rarely do but I felt the need to improve my Karma :). We have not been that busy at work so I am sure no one minded much.

Sharing more bluebell pictures, I know they are just a common every day flower but they are one of my favorites, they were one of the first flowers I could name as a child. We picked them every May for our May alters ( a Catholic thing). I no longer do May alters (or Catholism for that matter) but I still love bluebells! Looking at all of my pictures I think I must love the blue sky of Iowa more than anything. I can not imagine living any place where there was no sun or blue skies.

The Baltimore Orioles are back, I saw my first one Saturday AM, it was freezing cold and raining, I immediately put out some grape jelly they have been eating it ever since. I also saw a hummingbird, I put the hummingbird feeder out but I have not seen another one. Maybe this year will be the year I get a good photo of the Oriole against the blue sky!

Blooming Sunday

Green, Green, Green

A few green pics from Reimans.

A Spring Sunday

I am beginning to wonder if spring will ever get here. The weather woman said we were going to have sun all day long, it did not come out until about 1 o'clock, by then I had started a round of spring cleaning inside so I was too tired to do much outside, it was too wet anyway, I did get the patio cleaned off, then I sat outside enjoying the sun and listening to the birds. The dogs got to go for a nice walk around the lake, they would love to chase the geese, the geese are used to dogs and do not take them seriously.

A Fun Day at Reimans

We awoke this AM to yet another cloudy, dreary, foggy day! We have received over 3 inches of rain in the past 24 hours, so things are soggy and wet. We decided to go to Reimans to see the butterflies, it was an enjoyable day. We stopped on the way home in Eldora, IA at a large tropical fish store and bought a few new fish.
