Zuzu

You need to know this was the very first time
we vacationed with a pet.
It was a challenge thinking about the
possibilities before we left.
But once on the road, it was smooth sailing.
A couple of stops for both Zu and us -
food and potty breaks - and we were there!
She quickly learned the waves were ok.
She was walking in water by day two.
Playing "stick" in the early hours on the beach
was pure joy.
Even the sun and warm air was not a problem,
as long as the umbrellas were opened.
Would we do it again? You betcha'!!!!

Ahhhhhhhh the beach...................

Cool, refreshing, breezy,
takes your breath away,
sand and salt in your hair,
crashing waves,
calming sunsets.
At the beach,
where all thoughts are forgotten.
Time is not kept.
Days of the week are not known.
Can a picture tell a thousand stories,
you decide.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY





The day is a cold one here in central Pa. but it couldn't be better even if it wasn't Mom's day.
Looking outside, everything is green, GREEN, and the spring
flowers are beginning their triumphant entrance into
the earth's air.

My annual favorite has to be Lily of the Valley....
there is no other scent that brings the mind to the
season of spring.

I have already begun to harvest the violas and pansies, to
press for future cards or pictures.
I love to squish them between the sheets of blotter paper,
and to wait and see how pretty they flatten.

Speaking of blossoms...
I will tell you the sweet story of the
Bleeding Heart blossom in my next post.


For now, enjoy my garden -

Buzzy days of spring!

It's hard to imagine it took only
a few days to have my flower beds
look like this....
There arose a competition for some
fresh pollen, first of the year stuff.
My goodness they were working their little
wings off, swooping in and out of each crocus.




Even Mr. Big BumbleBee came out for
all that good pollen.
I must say he was just lovin' being
all covered up with the yellow gold!









Alas, the bounty of beauty in the sparkling
sun of St. Patrick's Day.
