What a shame we had temperatures in the 70s and 80s in the month of February, tempting spring to arrive early...
Oh, I thoroughly enjoyed those warm beautiful days...
even the butterflies were out and about and birds busy building nests.
So, we all got too relaxed and what happened? Winter came back! Freezing temps last night and a freeze warning again tonight. Covering everything is simply too overwhelming. We might as well say goodbye to the tiny figs and pears once again.
Anyhow, Sunday morning we had sleet and snow flurries...
Looks pretty dreary, doesn't it? I mean, if it's going to be winter and snow, couldn't we at least have enough to play in?Before all this dreariness arrived Sunday morning, I was simply amazed at the sunrise...
Look closer. I actually thought the woods were on fire...
I should have opened the back door instead of taking the picture through the screen wire.
Once upon a time I did a blog post on this big dog house that sits in our front yard. My brother Randall, who passed away in 2004 built this dog house and gave it to us many many years ago...
The last time the house was used was when our little red hen named "Jewel" hid a nest of eggs inside and sat quietly, and patiently hatched eight baby chicks. What a surprise that was! We thought a fox had caught her.
Anyhow, Sunday morning while I was at the grocery store, Poppy sold the doghouse to a nice young man who wanted it for a small hen house. Seems his young daughters had a few chicks they were raising. So coming home from the grocery store I stopped for a red light and there turning right in front of me was a big truck and trailer and loaded there on the trailer was the doghouse. Like it was meant to be...so I could say goodbye to Randall's doghouse. Kind of hurt my heart. But at least the house will be put to good use.
and since the snow didn't amount to anything here, Eli and Ellie played in the leaves down near the pond...
Guess that's about it for now. I'm far behind once again visiting and reading but friends, I'll be there soon. Thank you for your visit.
Love, Henny
