When Spring Appears
Meadowlarks give lusty cheers
when spring appears
when spring appears.
Buds and seeds prick up their ears
and blades of grass show eager spears.
And only icicles weep tears
when spring appears
when spring appears

Spring photos from around my yard
(if you prefer puppies to flowers, scroll down to the bottom)
Rhododendron 
Ajuga (bugleweed) and daylilies
Japanese Maple (acer palmatum)
Dwarf Fothergilla
Bleeding Heart
Japanese Cherry(okay I cheated with this one it's not from my yard - it's from the mall parking lot)
Another sign of Spring:
Our neighbor stopped by yesterday to show us her adorable new puppies (only 10 weeks old). They are a cross between a Boston and a Pug - a Bug!
These were the best shots I could get, these little rascals are a bundle of energy and don't really hold still.
Brindle Bug (Brin for short)
Lady Bug and Brindle Bug
These photos are about the sum total of what I accomplished this weekend, with the exception of a bit of spinning and knitting (photographic evidence soon).
Mr. CPA has been quite ill this last week with a nasty virus courtesy of the rather ironically named Dept. of Health. I held out hope that my alleged immune system would rally this time since I made it through an entire week of close contact without displaying any signs of viral activity. But, ummm, no.
