OH GOODIE, GOODIE

I think I see a little color in my yard! Can it be true that Spring is on it's way? Wait it is 32 degrees this morning. Burrrrrrrrrr, but I don't think my eyes are deceiving me?

Yes, a little crocus! I know only a few blooming but it is a start! I sure hope they are snow crocuses for the weatherman is predicting snow and strong winds. I guess February wants to go out like a lion. Just another shot of it, I need to see it again to give me hope.

My daffodils are getting closer. I may pick a couple and see if they will open up in the warm house. this Spring Fever is getting bad.

Just a little primrose blooming in a planter. At least they know I want some color.

I sure hope your flowers are thinking about blooming in your neck of the woods! I have hope for mine!

A NEW GRAND!

Yes, I have a new Grand - puppy that is! She came to visit this weekend for the first time. She is an adorable 3 month old Rottweiler! I will admit before my son got his first Rottweiler I was not a fan of that breed. But his dogs have been absolutely been loves.

Meet Zoey! She is 3 months old and is the cutest thing. Really a very calm puppy but is already growing very fast!

I have already grown out of my bed! Do you think they might have purchase too small of a bed to start. This lime green bed now belongs to Jazi and it fits perfectly in our home!

I have one tired Grand puppy. She fell asleep on the back of the sofa. She had been watching Grand kids and off to slumber land she went. Oh is this dog going to be big!

Enjoy the remainder of your weekend!

GOOD RAINY MORNING

OooooooooH, Yes, it is a good morning even if it is wet. There is a peak of sun but the forecast is for a drizzly day. My day started off with sleeping in, well at least until 6:30am. Then it was coffee and a special coffee it was. My friend brought me back coffee from Guatemala. Very yummy but so far my favorite has been Costa Rica coffee. Yes, I want to go back!

I have morning greeters! They come every morning to say hello! Right now there are allowed to free range, hee-hee, the back yard. The back patio is so slimy and green this winter it will need a good power wash a little later.

Hum, I wonder why they come to greet me every morning? Could it be my warm greeting? Could it be curiosity? Could it be wanting to tell Jazi Hi?

I think you can tell it is the handouts! I give them little treats most morning so they are at the slider with out fail.

I gave them celery the other morning and they were not pleased. There favorite is apples.

You can sure tell the patio is slimy in this picture, yuck! Isn't it funny to see a picture and realize how bad it is!

I hope you are having a great Saturday morning and looking forward to a wonderful weekend!

BOOK SIGNING

Have you ever gone to a book signing, not only to see the author but mainly to visit? That is what I did last night. One of my high school classmate's daughter is an author and she was in town for her latest novel. So I grab a classmate of mine and off we went. Now add to this is I was watching three of my grand children so guess who was also along. I know I was pushing my luck trying to get three young ones to sit quietly during the presentation. But hay, I was there for the visiting afterwards.

So with that, have any of you read Lisa Gardner's suspense novels? If you are a suspense novel reader they are very good. Her new one Catch Me was just release and it made #2 on the New York's Bestsellers list as of yesterday.
Now confession time! I'm not a suspense novel reader. I'm more into romance(not smut) or biography. Or give me a cook book to read any day! Now here we go with the brain again that doesn't function. What a great photo opportunity! A picture with the author, her mom and us two classmates. Nope, Nada, Nothing! Could it have been I was talking too much, running after grand kids or plain lack of brain cells. Kimberly of http://campandcottageliving.blogspot.com
reminded me to be in the habit of having my camera with me at all times. Yes, you guessed it. It was in my purse with me the whole entire time.

If you get a chance to go to a book signing of Lisa Gardner, please go. She is a delightful young lady that you will wonder where these ideas for her books come from. She must have marvelous brain cells!

Enjoy reading whatever your choice maybe,

CAMERA

The woos of my camera. Now it isn't the greatest and I'm doing some research on a new one but don't give up the ship, yet! It stopped working and I was sad, more then sad! My only other choice takes that film in the canister. Remember those? I must admit I have two rolls I still haven't developed from years ago. I keep turning it on with hopes a miracle would happen. I had checked out a Kodak Easy share for a quick point and shoot, but then an article appeared. What, Kodak is going to stop making digital cameras? Okay, it is back to square one now. I am so open to anyone with suggestions.

So off I went to my sister's this weekend. The camera is along, maybe a road trip will get it to start working! Travels always perks me up! On telling my sister about my dilemma, she asked if I typed the problem online for help. Gosh, why didn't I think of this. Yeah, Yippee it worked. She read the instructions while I found all the settings. The trauma of no camera is over. But not quite!

How can one with the camera fixed forget to take it on my walk/hike through the woods. Do you think if I typed online to repair my brain it would work. It was the most enjoyable afternoon hiking through old growth, logged areas and down to Big Creek. The scenery was great, the company was outstanding. Then we had two of the muddiest white dogs you could eve imagine. So where was my camera? Yes, please type in brain fix and give me all your suggestion for this brain of mine.

I'm hoping my brain power increases this week, my camera keeps working until I decide what to purchase and Jazi stay somewhat white after her soak, scrub and brush! I so wish I had before and after pictures.
Get this? After getting home with a somewhat white dog, still need to work on face I used my cell phone to take this! Oh brain you fail me!

Enjoy laughing at me for I sure am!

QUIET EVENING

There are sometimes I need a quiet evening at home. I am taking advantage of that tonight with the TV off and no music or any back ground noise. I'm sitting here with a cup of hot chocolate with a special marshmallow.

Aren't these heart shaped marshmallows cute, There are both white, vanilla and pink, strawberry flavored in the package. Just a little treat.

I am dreaming of future projects with the help of a few magazines. You see I am a magazine addict. Yes, I need to go to Magazine Anonymous! Hello, my name is June and I am a magazine addict. I wonder if this will really help?

I think I also have a touch of Spring Fever. For I loving seed catalogs, garden ideas and project right now.

So I'm going to snuggle back down on my sofa and devour the pages and enjoy my quiet evening.

CLEANING

The Poem for Spring Cleaning! The Cleaning Poem I asked the Lord to tell me Why my house is such a mess. He asked if I'd been 'computering', And I had to answer 'yes.' He told me to get off my fanny, And tidy up the house. And so I started cleaning up... The smudges off my mouse. I wiped and shined the topside. That really did the trick... I was just admiring my good work. I didn't mean to 'click.' But click, I did, and oops - I found A real absorbing site That I got SO way into it... I was into it all night. Nothing's changed except my mouse. It's very, very shiny. I guess my house will stay a mess... While I sit here on my hiney. Thank you for being my blogging buddy and friend! Glad we can keep in touch!
