April 15, 2012

So if April showers bring May flowers, what the heck do April snowstorms bring, besides a grumpy spouse!
Although I do admit that it was sure pretty outside for these last two days. And I did managed to go for a walk in the Ravine with a friend and her two dogs and it was wonderful.  All the dogs out there were just in the best mood, running around and in the snow!

But I have a confession to make, I think this my be my fault, I admit that I did not park in the garage Friday night....but the upside is my car is a lot cleaner.  And also every time my neighbour comes home from his long haul trips he brings a snow storm, so I making him share the blame this time.

Although this weather doesn't stop all the birds from coming by. My bird feeder is almost empty once again.  And I can hear the Magpies in our pine tree just singing away this morning, well I think it was singing, or they were tormenting the cat next door. Which they have been known to do from time to time, even if the poor thing is inside just quietly looking out the window.  I did see my very first robin this morning, and it was almost a Kodiak moment, it was sitting on a very thickly snow covered branch, and I actually had my camera with me, but would it sit still, oh no, just had to hop from branch to branch further and further up the tree!

My tomato plants that we started weeks ago and now staring out the window wondering what is going on, some of them are really getting big, "we need to plant the seeds early" I was told, I have one plant that is almost a foot tall so far.  I think it was just a tad early.  Should of left him in the trunk of the car - see earlier blog.

Well hopefully this is the last of winter, my green thumb is getting itchy!
