Rain and Hummers.....

...that's about all that's happening in the high country today...

OH .... ohhhhhh

I flipped my work schedule for today because of an afternoon meeting...

that should confuse the guys..

..Hope is Forever..

And the Thunder Rolls....

...we've had almost an inch of rain since 2AM...

The thunder continues to rumble...roll..and echo thru the mountains...

Flash Flood warnings are up...but, so far no tornado warnings..

I think Old Man Winter finally gave up and Spring is here....

Sorry...for the break in blogging....

I took a four day weekend and just walked away from all things computer...

Now.....I'm Back..!!

You lucky duckies...

 

..Hope is Forever..

How Come and a movie quote.....

A few days ago a blogger friend posted about the "How Comes?" in our lives....

and this started me thinking...

Do I have any "How Comes?"...?

Also...one of my favorite movies is Cool Runnings with John Candy...

the movie about the first Jamaican bobsled team..

In the movie the brakeman "Sanka" chanted this little rhyme...

"Feel the rhythm..

Feel the rhyme...

Come on boys....

It's bobsled time...!"

and down hill they would go...

OK....ok...how does all this connect you ask....

Well .. when the dogs and I go out in the mornings I get them back inside by chanting...

"Feel the rhythm..

Feel the rhyme..

Come on kids..

It's breakfast time...!"

How Come i do that...?

..Hope is Forever..

It's Been Awhile....

..since I posted at sunrise...

Sooooo...

Here's today's...!!

..Hope is Forever..

Ohhhh...my aching back...!

...it's Easter dinner hangover time...!

..Hope is Forever..

Happy Birthday.....Happy Easter....

My daughter's birthday was Wednesday the 16th and since she was in Kentucky pro suing her nurse practitioner degree as a mid-wife...we sent a card and little gift...

But..

Today is mom's birthday...

she was born on Easter Sunday and this is only the second time her birthday has fallen on Easter.

When i asked what she would like for her birthday dinner the reply was...

"A big juicy hamburger with all the trimmings..!"

So guess what we're having for Easter lunch...

That's right....along with potatoes salad, baked beans, coleslaw, and lemon pie.

Happy Easter Bloggerville....!!

..Hope is Forever..

Mother Nature is not listening....

..so I'm try a new source...

..Hope is Forever..

A 2fer.....

Yep...that's right..!

The first hummingbird of the year and snow at the same time...

Made my heart pitter-patter...

..Hope is Forever..

Same ole......same ole....

just waiting for Mother Nature to make up her mind..

and

the Big Bunny to appear...

..Hope is Forever..

I'm not nameing names....

but....someone....

(weather guru)

said maybe a few snow flurries tomorrow afternoon....

I thought we were done with this mess....!

..Hope is Forever..

It's time.....

..for the annual Easter Bunny watch to begin..!

..Hope is Forever..

Change of Address....

Miss LulaBelle takes her job as watch dog for the Twelve Acre Wood very seriously.

And as a result she stopped sleeping in her dog house and decided to shuggle-up under one of the Douglas Firs left over from the tree farm...

From there she could see both houses and all of the driveway..

This was driving me crazy...'cause we've still got some cold weather to get thru....

Sooooo.....

If Lula would not go to the house.....the house went to Lula...

Our house number is 1585...the parental units number is 1587..

Does that make Lula's house.....1586...?

..Hope is Forever..

ps.....she sleeps in it every night now.....good dog..!

On This Day....

..last year I was watching this beautiful sunrise..

    

this year I can't see the sun because of the clouds...

..Hope is Forever..

Do April showers....

...bring May flowers...?

If so

we should be all-a-bloom in a few weeks...

Raining "cats and dogs" here..

..Hope is Forever..

So predictable....

...that's me...

I've got a routine and try not to break it in anyway shape or form...

However,

Yesterday morning my routine got all dis-cum-bobalated....

CityBoy was home..!

And

being the helpful person that he is.....he took Max and Mia out for their morning walk and then fed LulaBelle, the outside dog.

Yikes...!

I had a few minutes with nothing to do....

(insert picture of hair pulling here)

Things did not get better as i continued on to work...

That "this isn't right" feeling stayed with me all morning...

Thank Goodness

 He had to work today and was gone when i got out of bed..

I may need the weekend to recover...!

..Hope is Forever..

On the Ridgeline....

Oh Gooood..!

Thunderheads...NOT...snow clouds...

..Hope is forever..

It Happened...!!

...Yesterday afternoon...

I 

Finally got to turnoff the heat and open a window...!!

..Hope is Forever..

I'm siding with Madea....

...it's 55* at 7:15 am....

And

I'm liking it...!
