Spring Snow

yep, last thursday it was 80, i think it was Thursday anyway. today i saw snowflakes as i walked the dogs.... and daffodils, forsythia, hyacinths, flowering shrubs and tulip trees and very young leaves on maple trees. It's definitely spring. My neighbors are about to mow their lawn for the 2nd time and i haven't even gotten to my first go round. sigh. :-P

It's the first day of a new year and so i keep hearing a new decade. Not much new or exciting. yet I bought some stuffed toys from the dollar store for the cats the other day. I had Lancelot in isolation because he hasn't been doing well of late. I gave one small one to him.

When i came home from work, there were the dogs trying to make it squeak. I was stunned and am not too sure how they got it from Lancelot since he was behind a closed door all day. I have an idea that Lancelot let it get too close to the door and one of the dogs got their paw on it and pulled it out. The other part of this i keep laughing about is that the toy doesn't have a squeaker in it. I bought it specifically for the cats to snuggle with when they want to do so. Oh well.

I also bought myself a Cute Overload desk calendar for Christmas. It's adorable! If you've not had the treat of visiting www.cuteoverload.com I highly recommend it, especially on a less than wonderful day. It always helps to brighten my day.

There was something new that happened this week, i received my Gurney Seed Catalog. Wow! That is early! I remember my Dad just pouring over the seed catalogs when they came in. I think it's the only thing that gets real gardeners through the winter months. Of course, by February or at the latest March my Dad would be starting seeds all around the house in preparation for transplanting them into the garden in May and June. He also would start saving the gallon milk jugs so he could use them to protect the tomato plants should we have a late frost. Hmmm, i'm going to have to start saving the milk jugs...

May God our Heavenly Father bless you with a greater understanding of His amazing Love for you. May He open your hearts to His and pour in His Joy that He and Jesus (and i suspect the Holy Spirit) share moment by moment. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
