Snow days

We did get lots of snow days here this past winter. Thought I would share with you.

I found this pic of Tasha in my library of photos. This was taken a couple of months ago. Some days are just brutal when we have to go walking. Her face shows how strong the wind was blowing as well as the rain. I have her outfitted in rain shoes as her feet get so wet that they develop a fungal infection. And The rain coat keeps her a bit drier. She has 3 rain coats depending on the severity of the weather. This one is wind and rain tough. Nothing get through that rain coat. Tasha hates wearing any kind of coat but it does keep her much drier.

Killdeer are active

I have managed to get a few pics of the Killdeer bird. I have to watch where I walk so I don't step on a nest of eggs. They blend so well in with the rocks ... that it is hard to see them. The only clue you get that you are close is the broken wing act the adult Killdeer do to lure you to them. It is very entertaining to watch them chirp and flap their wings and tail to get you to follow them. I sat down next to a nest so I could get a pic or two of the birds. They came within about 3 feet of me and even became calm as long as I was very still. But as soon as I moved, they started the broken wing act again. They are a very fun bird to watch and they are here year round.

It's Tulip Season

The tulips were gorgeous this year. It is truly a sight to see such a vast planting of tulips. I share some of my favorite photos I took this year.
