#5.....

...well....these primitive Easter Bunnies almost didn't make it onto the quilt rack in time for the big egg hunt.....for some reason it seemed like it took me forever to get it done....

Maybe it was going back to work....or those other three projects i started ....or the Shop Hop in Atlanta.....maybe i just got lazy!!

Anyhoo......Thanks to yesterdays snow.......#5 is on the rack......!

Whoooaaaa!

More rain clouds heading our way.......

Suppose'a rain all day and then turn into snow tonight....

Someone told me ...."this is Spring!"

Must have been a weather guru.......

Special request.....

Had a request from Topper in CA for more pictures of Mia........

Well.. Mia is a bit camera shy...but, here are two good ones.....

We rescued Mia from a broken home, where she was living in a doggie crate for approx. 18 - 20 hours a day ...she was in good health and spirits...just needed somewhere to run and play....she came to live with us about 1 month before we moved to the Blue Ridge

To quote the male child......"Mia has become a true Mountain Diva with a "Miss Piggy" attitude..."

She's a princess.....a spoiled brat.....she has us wrapped around her paw...and she knows it....she's a champion beggar....great hole digger.....she chews her nails.....she loves to be dirty....hates a bath....she's an alarm system with her sharp- yappie bark....she thinks she's a guard dog and trys to act tough....she's a sucker for a dog treat and her favorite thing in the whole world is...."French vanilla ice cream!!"

She has her own personal chew toy...Max

She tolerates Miss Kitty......i think they share the same attitude...(poor Max)

She's also a super terrific snuggler on cold winter nights.......

Winks and sniffs.......to Topper..... her" look-a-like" new friend!

It's here!.....

....It's here....it's here!!! The day the males in this little mountain hamlet have been waiting for......the "Opening Day of Trout Season"...!!!!

And this year instead of the usual nasty rain, fog, cold, ice or snow......there's sunshine outside, the temps are expected to be in the high 50's....low 60's today.....!!!

Men and boys have been preparing for this day for weeks........checking those poles....the line.....the lures..... the canoes......the water temp and speed......picking just the right fishing hole.....you've got to be on the river early!!.......you can almost smell excitement in the air!....or was that bacon cooking...??

Swim fast little fishies......Swim fast......I'm on your side....swim fast!

TGIF.....

Got Milk?

Green...

Looks like Spring is really here........look at all the little green trees.....they'll be ready for Christmas.......

Look at all the new buds on this one.........Pollen abounds!!!
Thank goodness for the rain the last few days......any pollen free day..is a great day!!

Stay dry..........

Another.....

....yuck kind'a day in the Blue Ridge....spent another 3.5 hours at the dentist.....now we have to build up the tooth and then prep it for the crown....all i know is..."this is alot of money for a sore jaw every two weeks!!...and what is this "we" business??!!

Another new picture from the male child.......doesn't this little guy look like he's wearing an orange or yellow rain slicker?

And i love the rain drops on the pine needles.....can you see them?!

Stay warm and dry........later!
