More gorgeous weather this week! The lakes and reservoirs are filling up, everything is growing like crazy.
The landscaping around the house is getting ahead of me. I may have to break down and have a yard service come in to help out.

While taking the above photos, the sense of being watched just kept nicking at my back. Turned around to find this fellow watching me from inside the fortnight lilies...
Not sure he thought I was doing the photos properly, but he never said anything.
This was a Bloodsucker drive week, and St Patrick's as well so... two birds one stone.
No blooming trees here yet, but it was lovely the past two day. I've been outside trying to clear up from our snow storm that broke so many trees. Waiting for the tree guy to come and help.
ReplyDeleteMy friends have offered to come over and help me take out some more trees and shrubs. YeeHaw!
DeleteSpring makes everything new again. And I guess a pint after you give blood has the same effect.
ReplyDeleteLL, It does indeed.
DeleteI am loving the rain and all the water that has come from it(-: Spring has sprung her for sure(-:
ReplyDeleteCindee, I am too. Hope it keeps on in this pattern of rain/sun for a while, refill those aquifers.
DeleteGood for you! We got a deep freeze and snow this weekend, but it won't last.
ReplyDeleteGrunt, We are looking at rain for the next three days, I'll take it!
DeleteGotta have that shirt! How could you pause long enough to take that picture of the snake. Yikes! I could photograph a black snake but that doesn't look like a black snake. The estate is greening up and I will slight my children's inheritance before I will give up my yard man...or my housekeeper:-)
ReplyDeleteAnnie, Will see if I can get my daughter to make another.
DeleteThat's a lizard, he eats bugs, he can stay.
LOL, I've never had a yard man or a housekeeper... wouldn't know how to act if I did.
Great pics! And be glad he didn't run up your leg! :-)
ReplyDeleteOld NFO,
DeleteThanks. Lizards don't scare me.
Did you donate 80 proof blood?
ReplyDeleteWoodsterman, I followed Old NFO's instructions and waited til after. Re-hydration!
DeleteLOL! +1 Woodsterman
ReplyDeleteJenny,
DeleteDon't encourage'm!
I like the shirt, too! The Irish is strong in this house.
