While Winter keeps trying to raise its ugly, cold head, Spring really is here. Right now we have daffodils, crocus, pansies and various other flowers blooming. Our peonies are now out of the ground about 6″ and it’s as if we see them growing throughout each day. The other thing that is blooming a lot …

The Silos
These silos are just up the road from us a bit. I am surprised with all the “progress” around here that they haven’t been torn down. Hooray for whoever saved them and made their little area a park.
8 Months
Seems like I talked to him just yesterday, but it’s eight months that he’s been gone. Two of my favorite guys on my maternal side.
