Photoshopoppies!

it's been so gorgeous around here, I can't stop taking pictures every time I go outside lately

at this time of year,
dandelion puffs
play second fiddle

I love this little garden, I could sit here all day at this time of year - lucky me, it's right outside the door

Upstate New York: wearing mittens and scraping frost off the windsheild in May


as I was driving, I noticed a really pretty frost pattern on the rear window

lawnmower still OOC :(




end of the weekend

these are weeds of some sort, but I mow around them and let them stray into the lawn and into my flower garden

green ground is back

early morning pond walk

surface still icy slush

nest built in bittersweet tangle

February morning

thaw!

it was so nice today (mid 50s!), Sparky & I couldn't resist taking a walk outside -
first he had to check out the top of the wood pile

even melting snow couldn't help but smile:

December morning

Open the door, and Sparky races ahead:

He looks back to make sure I'm coming:
