I want to take a road trip this summer..... to Seattle maybe?

Winter just won't quit

Winter seems to be holding on with two fists. It's another Wednesday snowstorm here in Central MA. I really shouldn't complain since I happen to have a job that really lends itself to snow storms, but they are still annoying and inconvenient.

The only good thing about snow is cross-country skiing. I had forgotten I love this until my dad forced me to take every last thing I owned out of his house, including my skis. So one bored winter Saturday I decided to take them out to a trail near my house. It was awesome! And the pup had a blast too.....

 

This will be my new obsession, too bad the snow isn't going to stick around long enough to enjoy it fully.

Its been forever since I posted but now that winter is winding down I am totally focused on SPRING. 

How great are these flowers?? They are so happily optimistic.

 

And this is my goof-ball dog looking for winter to end also!

 

Peace, Love, and Spring Planting....

Columbus Day Weekend

It's Columbus Day weekend here in the North East and it has been beautiful! I took the pup out for a hike yesterday and these are some shots I got:

 

And Finally: The pup herself... running around with another friend: Jack

It's been a good day.

Friday Night

sitting on my couch

And I love it!

(maybe the music teacher is right and I do need to start dating again)

Its Raining Cats and Dogs....

Strangest day ever.

It was warm earlier and then it suddenly started pouring out... I mean REALLY RAINING.

And now I'm going to take advantage of this rain and go to bed.

Fall Flowers

Fall is an interesting time for me and my gardens.

I spend all winter planning them, all spring planting them, all summer maintaining and enjoying them, and then autumn comes and suddenly I just want to cut everything back and be done with it.

So yesterday I cut back the Hydrangea bushes. Then I made little bouquets and put them all over the house. My favorite was this one:

Its just so damn pretty!
