Spring

Here in St. Louis it is starting to feel more like Spring everyday. The early Spring bulbs are blooming: crocus; daffodils, and even a few tulips. This year the forsythia next to the side of the house are blooming a beautiful yellow. It is gradually getting warmer every week. Of course, being St. Louis, Winter-like weather could return. Last year we had a freeze just when my cherry tree star, who get most of them. were disappointed.

Right now we are getting the other side of Spring: rain, lightening, and thunder. It is a good evening to just get cozy and browse the Internet or read a book. Television? No, I never watch it. I do use it for watching movies though.

Even my cat Frankie, who hates being indoors, is spending the evening sleeping on my bed. My dog, Lily, has to be forced to go outside -- she hates getting her feet wet! My other dog Mickie, who doesn't mind bad weather, is sleeping under my bed -- his favorite place to nap.

When, and if, the ground dries up a little, I would like to start work on my yard. It is looking very sad. I want some more flowers to sketch!
