St. Patrick Day and Little Sisters

Happy St. Patrick Day Everyone.

It is official, I have spring fever. It's 50 degrees and the is braking through the light clouds cover. The Robins are in the yard singing loud and clear with the Cardinals right beside them.

I'm really quite amazed at how much snow has melted today alone. Tomorrow the forecast is for more of the same. We'll have to keep our eyes on the rising river this week.

I received a picture text while I was talking to my little sister, but I'm not tek smart enough to check my text and talk at the same time, so when I got off the phone this is what I found. Hope I'm not in trouble for sharing this without permission from either of these sisters but this is a great picture with Kelly Lou who is walking for her big sister Lori. You ROCK girl.

I spent some time with Ridley and Haley while Mom and Dad went to see King Tut stuff and dinner to celebrate an up coming birthday.

Haley was amused with Nana and her brother doing jumping jacks around the living room clapping our hands in the air and saying 'Hooray'. I swore she giggled at us. She sure had some very big smiles and a few spit bubbles.

Isn't it amazing what these little creature do to us grown ups? They're great kids. I will be spending a couple days with them until I start working in the gardens again. It's hard to think that I will be back to work in less than three weeks.

And speaking of thing to see outside ones window; while I was hanging with the kids we saw 6 deer walking between the rows of town houses. They didn't care that they were being watched and they pushed at the bird feeders to knock the seed out and lick it off the ground. This isn't deep in the 'inner city' by any means, but it is quite populated and a lot of traffic.

They look pretty well fed and not afraid of much anything. There is more wildlife hanging out in the shrubs than we think there is.

Guess they need somewhere to live too, and it is a pretty nice neighborhood.

I hope that everyone is starting to feel the spring 'hope' again. I try to fight off spring fever as long as possible because I hate disappointment, but there's no avoiding it any more. Happy spring I think.
