After a few warm days...the daffodils were greeted by
a chilly morning yesterday...on our first day of Spring.
.
We've had nice days for watching...not only the birds...
.
but the clouds.
There were some rather strange looking ones...
.
What do you see in this cloud?
Maybe this...
What ever it is...it looks sad to me!
I on the other hand...was very happy that day to see
my granddaughter Amanda and Bronson.
Bronson is Amanda's boy friend...
.
he was visiting from Georgia during his spring break.
On Thursday, I met Alivia half-way up the drive...
She brought her backpack along for our walk...
We ended up sitting in the swing first.
While there a rather large jet passed overhead...
We watched it fade in the distance while
.
Grampa was cutting the tall dried grass in the field.
We then took our walk down to the other end of the field...
ended up at another place to do some sitting for a while...
on a bench...my son Steve made.
.
In the field we saw...
a young locust tree with really sharp thorns...
.
and this common cockle-bur plant...
also known as Velcro!
.
-click to enlarge photos- As we were leaving...Alivia left some of her banana
.
in the hollow of a tree...for the squirrels to eat.
Then yesterday...the first day of Spring...
and then later we had our first strawberry pie of the season!
Spring!!!
Then yesterday...the first day of Spring...

Oh Wanda I am so happy for you, your grandchildren are beautiful and that strawberry pie looks delicious. I am so proud of you and the wonderful relationship you share with your family. I love coming to your site, it brings me so much comfort. Again my friend your baking and your family is so wonderful to share with all of us and tonight I like to think you shared especially just for me. Thank you, a big hug to you:)
Thank you Wanda, for your kind words on my blog...and you are right...'What a difference a day can make' On Tuesday, I am on my way to California to spend time with my grandchildren. Your grandchildren are beautiful and so good looking too, and it is such a blessing to have them all so close to you. God Bless...I always love your blog.
What a wonderful day....
oh sweet spring flowers... how I wanna see some sprout from my frozen ground!
Have a wonderful weekend!
It sounds like you had a wonderful day with your family. How nice it is for you and your grandchildren to share these moments together.
Thank you for your visits. I really appreciate them.
Lovely spring flowers, and everyday sounds amazing in your life.
That strawberry pie looks soooo yummy!
Yummy strawberry pie! And daffodils??? mine are just about 1/2 way up.....So here it did not seem like Spring. No flowers and no sunshine - just cold.... But there are "signs" that it might show up :-) Can't wait......Love your pics......so glad we found each other......God Bless & have a great week-end...
Wanda: It makes me so happy to know there is someone out there reading and commenting on my blog! I agree with the other folks who have commented here. Yes, your grandchildren are beautiful and I love your photographs too. Are they all taken on your family's property?
Of course, as the owner/human companion of a springer spaniel, I was especially interested in the common cockle bur known as VELCRO. You can only imagine how many I have teased out of Rosie's coat over the years. Enjoy this beautiful day.
Yes they were Amy...I'm a hopeless homebody!
Hi Wanda,
I enlarged the daffodil and looked at it a l-o-n-g time. I liked the burr, too - such interesting shapes - did you use a special macro lense? I must admit that I also had to enlarge the strawberry pie. I almost went to get a fork. I haven't made one in years, and yours looks mouthwatering.
Happy spring to you!
Thank you Barb...no special lens just a macro zoom in feature on a Fugiflm Finepix S700 camera.
It's Pinocchio in the clouds!
Yes, he is sad --- because his nose has grown.
Mmmm....Your pie looks delicious. Any left over?
Yes! Annette...if you hurry!
Thank you Wanda for visiting my page and leaving me that lovely message. I shall come and visit you often...
