This morning the temperature was a balmy 51 degrees when Katie and I ventured out. Last Monday morning it was only 7 degrees, so you can understand that we felt a bit giddy today. We ended up over 60 degrees this afternoon!
After I dropped (poor) Katie off at the groomer I went for a walk around the neighborhood. I took my camera, looking for signs of spring, but in reality it was a pretty dismal looking day, gray skies, still some slushy snow in the ditch, a lot of dirt and litter. At my turn around spot I ran across these guys:
Notice the one on the right is charging toward me. I don’t think he thought of me as a friend. I backed up and got a shot of him front on…after he spit at me and showed his teeth. Though these guys were very pretty I don’t think they’re the kind of horses you pet and feed apples!
Then I wandered around the back yard and cut some pussywillow, redbud and forsythia to put in a vase inside. Hopefully soon I’ll have some real proof of spring, blooming on my counter!
I hope spring is truly on the way now.
And Katie came back
from the groomer very pretty. As usual.

Yes, we had a taste of spring yesterday too! Mom and I spent almost the whole day outside – practiced agility, cleaned out the flower garden, talked to the neighbor, walked in the park….it was awesome! Now we have a bad case of spring fever!
Take a photo of your flower vase when the redbud, forsythia, and pussy willows bloom, and post it ok? Bet it will be beautiful!
