I have to admit it. I am now craving color. Like the color green instead of the color mud.
Suddenly I'm looking at the flower garden and wondering where I can plant MORE flowers. How much yard can I get away with digging up?
But wait. March is too early to think planting, but planning is fine.
So far we've had snow/sleet/thunder/lightening/winds/warm days and cold days. So we've essentially run the gambit of March-mad-ness.
I spent some time wandering around the upper pasture and then sat for a bit under a box elder and watched the neighbor's meadow. The crows always seem to be busy out there.
Then I heard some snorting.
Why hello Miss Fifteen! She has got to be the one of the biggest busy bodies we have.
She and I generally don't see eye to eye. But she sure is a looker.
Sundance saw that I had no hay so she turned and watched out over the woods.
Her sister, Sunshine, acted bored.
No food? Not interested!
Behind her is the roof of our house. As I said we live in a 'bowl' or a hollow. We look up at the surrounding forest.
Charlie and I are going to go look for birds on Thursday and visit an ice falls before they melt away.
The weather is cold this week and then it is supposed to be 50 on Sunday?
Oh March, make up your mind!
Of course April can always throw in a surprise or two also.
Our week is opposite. It is tolerable now, but low 20's this weekend and snow. Possibly a lot of snow!
ReplyDeleteSnow! I am looking forward to a nice day to grill out! Hope the snow goes away!
Delete15 is a pretty girl and looks like a sweetie. You're redhead gals are so cute checking in!
ReplyDeleteI start dreaming/planning gardening stuff in January, when the catalogs begin arriving. Are you going to plant zinnias along your driveway this year? I can't wait to try the four o'clocks! Always fun trying to grow something new.
Enjoy your time KVR-ing!! I hope you find swans-a-swimming!
15 isn't a sweetie ~~ well at least to me. We don't get along but it is more or less my fault.
DeleteI may come up with another plan as the driveway one was voted down. There's a patch of grasses right by the fence that I may put in sunflowers and zinnias? I haven't really decided yet.
I think so many 4 o'clocks will be coming up on their own like they do after I turn over the dirt!
We did see an eagle at KVR and the ponds were frozen!
Spring is so close! I see some greenery starting to push up in the more sheltered/melted areas (day lilies and iris)
ReplyDeleteCharlie looks quite content all snugged up in his blanket. Resting up for more adventures!
Usually see crocus's around the 15th of March and the woods spring up with skunk cabbage near the end of the month.

Charlie sure knows how to chill out!
I am glad for the warm up. I need some green too. I ordered iris plants a few days ago.
