Sights of Spring
Officially, it’s spring time. Unofficially, south Alabama has moved from summer to summer without much of a winter OR spring break. We’ve been seeing highs in the 80’s already! No matter the temps we humans feel, it’s still spring to the bird life. Chirping and tweeting and singing and such fill the air in our backyard and nests are popping up everywhere. It’s the cycle of life that goes on everywhere. Happy Spring, everyone!

Spring is More Than Welcome
It’s been a particularly cold winter this year. Moving to Missouri made it even more so, with all the snow and ice that seemed to last forever to this southern girl! This past Monday was officially the first day of spring, and the weather has been really nice…cool in the early morning and evening, but warm enough to go without a coat through the day. I’m ready for it to be warm again! Everyone has told us that springtime is gorgeous in these hills. I’m already catching a glimpse of the colors to come…purple flowers (who knows what they are?) alongside the road, bright yellow flowers and pink ones…bursts of beautiful color everywhere! I can’t wait to see what the landscape will be like in…

Thursday, January 20, 2011–FIRST SNOW DAY!
Our first snow day in Blue Eye, Missouri! I was able to capture a few quick snapshots of the landscape and my two “girls” as they adjusted to their first snow. It has been quite chilly here, and bundling up just to take the dogs on a walk is a great adventure. Mittens or gloves, long coat, NEED SOME SNOW BOOTS!, knit cap on my head….wow, what a change from Florida life! I hope to capture better photos when it snows again. The effort to get out and really get some good shots paled to the unpacking I still have to do…so come the next snow I’ll be ready! [portfolio_slideshow id=19]
