Determined Onions

I have an old pot in my yard. I totally neglect it. It never gets watered. I don't take it to the shed in the fall. I don't fertilize or add new soil. And yet, every year these lovely purple onions (chives) come blooming back.

Spring Fever...Finally

I took off work this afternoon - something called spring fever caught me by surprise and I just couldn't stand to be indoors any longer. I came home; Mike and I ran some errands and then we went for a 2-hour drive in the MG. First time this year. It was such a perfect day to go for a drive in a convertible. We drove the back roads clear to Pleasant View - no destination in mind. But I did discover a couple of places I want to take my camera back to. We ended up at Farr's Ice Cream in Clinton for a frozen yogurt. That was my dinner. I then hopped on my bike and took a long ride up on the trail. They have part of the Clearfield trail open so I rode to just after 200 N and came upon the train tracks, turned around and did two laps around Holt Elementary. Probably about a 5 mile round trip ride.

Ez's Last Ball Game

This was Ez's last t-ball game, I'm sad to say. It was such a beautiful evening - clean and crisp and clear blue skies. Ez biffed it on his skateboard earllier today and had a huge bump on his head and a scrape on the side of his mouth.

Ez caught my eye and gave me a "thumbs up."

Three amigos. These kids were on Ez's team. I just liked the cute candid shot.

Cute little Hazel and Shaury.

Who Teaches Birds to Build Nests?

I found a bird's nest today on my early-morning walk with Elaine. It was on the sidewalk below a fence. I brought it home. It's amazing to me that birds can create something so amazing. A nest has to be planned in advance; they are complex. Just think about all the materials used to build a nest. Mud has to be gathered first to make mud for mortar. The mud is mixed with a bird's saliva and then formed into a nest shape. Grass, moss, feathers, etc have to be obtained and added. Birds are like civil engineers.

Mac Fish in a PC Lab

These fish are OLD! We've had this Macintosch computer housing as a home for these goldfish for many years. They're still going strong. We do get chuckles, since we're a PC lab:)

Lunch at my Desk

Lunch today consisted of eating at my desk. I brought a delicious salad from home. I threw in the kitchen sink: spinach, feta cheese, pecans, salmon, dried cranberries, avocado and strawberries, with a raspberry-lime dressing. I was all out of mushrooms and fresh blueberries.

Happy Radishes

My radishes are doing great!
