Spring is out in force.

It's been over a week since our first flowers opened.

Here's a few I shot today, March 17th.

Oops, that last one was for Bonzi, some of our catnip.

Oh, and my 2005 car broke down on the way to work today and had to be towed to the shop. Some electrical problem.

OH JOY! $$$

P.S. The giant inflatable Irish dog in my neighborhood.

Mixed Emotions?

I certainly have them... After three hours of piling this morning, my left arm is telling me about it.

Loverly photos. Thanks,

giant, inflatable whatever it is, is totally barking!

Hope the car isn't too expensive, and why were you shooting spring flowers? Isn't that a waste of bullets?

It's an irritation to us other Celts (ie Welsh, Scots, Cornish, Bretons) that the Irish seem to have a monopoly on being Celtic, and that most of the fuss on Paddy's day, is made by those who've never been to Ireland.

PS Bonzi said thanks for the catnip - I now have cat snot all over my screen!

That and....

From what I've read, Paddy was born in Southern Scotland... Yet another "interloper" in Ireland.

Mad Simply Mad

If you make any thing large or small inflatable it just screams Crazy, or just sick. It was bad enough to infest Halloween and Yule with giant inflatable ketch, now it's spreading. This is just vinyl madness Cheep and trashy. Is this just an American thing or has it spread to the seasonable United Kingdom or beyond. Please tell me it's not so.

PS A cat sneezing on your screen is the same as there laying on the book you are trying to read.

The only bad question is the one not asked.
