Subscribe Spring? Hello, SPRING!!!
Cloudy, chilly, drizzly, gloomy, doomy SPRING.
Note to Winter: This is not to suggest that you are missed. Please keep napping. See you in December.
But Spring? Seriously, you need to stop slackin’. And I could really use some leaves on the trees, ‘kay? SPRING!!! I know you can hear me. I know you’re out there.
Lazy, good-for-nothin’ season.
Spring shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this.
I set off down the driveway, determined to capture Spring and drag her irresponsible behind back here. I took the dogs with me, of course.
No, not that dog.
Sorry, Annabelle.
Look! Flowering quince.
We need some of that. Don’t you think so, Coco?
COCO!
That’s not what we’re here to do.
We’re here to capture Spring and slap her around a little, not play with her.
I don’t think you’re listening to me, Coco.
Giant Puppy: “This is the best puddle in the history of puddles.”
I know that, Coco. I can see that. You love Spring, and Spring loves you, but we have other things to do.
Or I can go on without you.
Aha! Another sign of better weather. Fencing material! We are having a fencing party down here in the meadow soon. We’re making pastures for the sheep!
Ha! Giant Puppy! I knew you wouldn’t be left behind. Now help me wake Spring up!
Or play in Spring’s rain-filled creek. You’re so predictable, Coco. I guess I have to do all the work.
I see daffodils!
And forsythia!
Who planted the flowering quince, the daffodils, the forsythia? Someone way back in Stringtown history, no doubt. These blooms are mine now. My Spring, and I have her captured!
I take her back to the house.
I place Spring in vases filled with water. Spring, I shall defeat you yet!
Spring succumbs to my water torture techniques and promises blue skies and sunshine from now on!
Coco: “What about puddles? I want more puddles.”
COCO! Stop trying to influence Spring!!!!
Oh, shoot, you know Spring loves dogs….

I took a picture of Annabelle with my cell phone and made it my wallpaper.
I tell everyone I know about Chickens In The Road and how entertaining Suzanne is.

Spring is really dragging it’s feet. The trees have buds and they’re getting confused.

Love to see the blooms and Spinach…that would be fun, not to mention deliscious!!!!! Fresh food. I can’t even get my husband to build me a Potager garden. LOL He said there is alot of work involved and I would not get out at 100 plus degrees with 95 percent humidity and pull weeds, ect. – he would have to do it. (and he doesn’t even know how tee he he).

Thanks for the picture of Quince–we had a ratty bush of that when we moved here that we took out, and I couldn’t recall what it was called, as I want to find a replacement bush. This was my grandparents house, and when I was a kid I remember all the flowering bushes that were here. Of course that was a long,long time ago, and much died off over the years.

I’ve been reading your past posts since I heard you on PBS Sunday. I was checking out your fall experiences and your emthasis on canned goods in the window. I worry that you probably shouldn’t use any of these since they’ve had so much exposure. Glass tends to have a chemical reaction to sunlight when exposed for long periods. Please ask your neighbors with much more canning experience than myself what they think. I wonder if that’s why little mammaw (my great grandmother), always stored her jars in the cellar.

Annabelle definitely looks more than a mite miffed at being left behind. SHE doesn’t know she isn’t a dog!
Hmm, I think I’ll have spinach for supper – but unfortunately it will have to be store-bought canned.
