Spring is in the air

We’ve got a pair of chickadees busy preparing a nest in the bird house I plucked out of a FREE pile at the curb while on a walk last year. Those birdies have it stuffed so full that the nest is trailing out.

I’m not sure how they plan on raising babies in there.

We are finally getting some moisture. It’s been so dry that grass was crunchy.

The crab apple blossoms love it.

I’ll be cutting some off in a bit to bring inside. Too bad the blossom stage is so short lived.

My neighbor’s tree is further ahead than ours…at least I get to enjoy it from afar.

Snow Day

The two words every kid longs to hear.

I was shocked when the call came through at 5:30 this morning.

I figured we’d maybe have a 2 hour late start but CLOSED. Really!?!?

We are 5 houses from the edge of our school district…if we were on the next street, the kids would have had school on time, no delay today.

Weird, huh.

We got rain then sleet then snow then freezing rain then sleet again then snow. Needless to say it’s very heavy. Check out my neighbors Spruce tree.

Another neighbor has a tree leaning down into their driveway.

Our dogwood looks pretty encased in ice.

I wanted to take even more pictured but it’s rainy-sleety again and I didn’t want to get my lens wet.

It’s so pretty out and warm.

Light box

I finally made myself a light box for photography!!

I’ve seen many tutorials on the web but put it to the back of my to-do list. Well, now it’s to-done. It may not be the prettiest light box but I didn’t have to buy a thing.

I have to show you the huge difference that it makes even without adding any additional light from a lamp.
