Around the Neighborhood 4-15-14

This is a pretty scene I saw while walking the pups around our neighborhood tonight. Loving the purples and greens! Spring is my very favorite!

Little Baby Green 4-14-14

We tried to grow peas last year and they wound up drowning in one of the super soaker rains we had last spring. This year we are growing them in earth boxes and have already had better luck with them. Look at this sweet little pea baby! We covered them and the Apple tree up tonight though because of the predicted frost tonight.

Little Dogwoods 4-8-14

Back on Clysta Willett Trail tonight with my usual walking partners, Dustin and our pups. These sweet little growing Dogwood flowers where begging to have their picture taken!

Rollin' In 3-31-14

Monday brought some interesting storm clouds our way. It rained quite a bit just shortly after I got this picture.

Soul Rinse 3-28-14

Dustin, the pups and I went for a walk today...in the rain!!! I really didn't want to miss our after work walks today just for the rain, so I put my perfect red rain boots on and grabbed my favorite walking partners and mad them all tromp through the mud with me! I had my hood on at first but then I threw it back so I could soak in the sweet spring rain. The drops dripped on my head, rolled down and caught on my eye lashes and then soaked into my soul. The rain made all the colors on the trail pop and everything smelled so fresh and alive. It was a beautiful soul rinse at the end of the week.

Sunshine Flower 3-20-14

Spring is finally here! We had such a chilly, snowy winter for the Ozarks this year. There was points I thought I may just grow wings, become a bird and fly south for the winter. Even though I am from Colorado, I do NOT like winter. I get cold so very easily, so it's very difficult for me to stay warm and that's only one of the many things I dislike about winter time. BUT SPRING IS HERE! There is HOPE! Smiles and Sunshine, Flowers and Warm Rain, Long walks with my pups! To me, this day just wouldn't be better represented by anything else but a daffodil. They are a picture of sunshine and happiness to me! Happy Spring Everyone!

This one on top here, has been edited a bit to try and get some of the redness of the sun flares out. I just love the way the sun shine at the tip of the Daffodil though!!

These bottom two are completely
un-edited, I love the yellows!

Almost Here.... 3-19-14

Spring begins tomorrow!!!! My very favorite season, when things begin to grow back, new life emerges and the sun shines a bit warmer. I saw this sweet little thing on a tree at the Clysta Willet Trails today while I was on a walk with my little family! Can't wait to see all the pretty flowers and blue sky days....and rain puddles for my red rain boots!

Goodbye Snow! 3-17-14

It snowed pretty much all day here on Sunday. A fluffy snow with big flakes what accumulated on the trees and the ground but not the roads. This is what was left of it by the time I got off work today....
