Spring has almost Sprung!

It's almost time! We went out to the RV park this past weekend and got the RV put back into place, all lined up and ready to hook up for the summer. We didn't have time, or the suppies, to do any cleaning, but that will come soon enough! We have lots to do!

Ice, Ice, Baby

Well, then. A frozen winter became a close encounter with spring for 5 warm days, and then BAM! ice storm! and back to winter we go...

I would have preferred to take some ice photos with sunshine, but it wasn't meant to be. We didn't get any sun for 3 days and by then the ice was gone. So I'm glad I took the time to get these pictures when I did. It was bitter, bitter cold outside and my fingers were sore cold. They hurt so bad and I thought I might have gotten frostbite. But luckily they warmed up nicely and everything works :) I need some photographers gloves. Do they make those? I wonder...

Winter Wonderland

The winter weather has been quite active recently. It's left a delightful covering of cotton-ball tufts on the trees and mounds of glistening flakes everywhere else. I find the sight rather diverting. So diverting I have a hard time keeping my eyes on the road! I do love me some winter snow :)

Look at 'em grow!

My aloe plant has teeth!

The paddle cactus has sprouted 5 new paddles - look at those spikes!

Even my poor little Jade plant has survived being mauled by rampant squirrels and is taking new root and sprouting new growth!

The best part? - I didn't do a thing! When the temps climbed to 90 that's when things got moving. The hotter and more humid it got, the more the little buggars sprouted. Amazing. Before too much longer I'll need to separate some of them before someone gets hurt...

Shamrocks in my garden

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

These tiny little clovers began peeking out from under my cacti a few days ago. Aren't they pretty?
