New Neighbors

Yeppers, we've got ourselves some new peeps in the 'hood.  They don't have any kids yet, but it won't be long. They can get a little noisy, but it's not the kind of noise you dislike.  

Would you like to meet them?

Okay, meet the Dove family...............

I think she has finally realized that we aren't after her or her egg(s) because she and her mate have stopped trying to dive bomb us every time we walk out the back door. LOL She even stays put when I open the slider. As you can see, she was eyeballing me pretty good, but she let me get a pic. Gotta love a zoom function, eh? I was about 8 feet away....way closer than yesterday. :-)

March brings.......

A little rain to water the plants.......

And wash away some of the pollen ....

Ahhhhh spring.

Now it's really spring

I have an extreme allergy headache today. I don't get them hardly ever, but today spring bit back. A few posts ago, I told spring to bite me. I'll be danged is she didn't take me literally. LOL
The very cool, slow march into warm weather has kept spring going and going and going.............
I feel her wrath. LOL

Pollen covered car....explains a lot.

Lady bug invasion...yeah!!

 This rose bush now makes two colors of roses!! WTHeck

Did I mention that roses make me sneeze?

Did I mention that they are right by my front door?

Did I mention they are everywhere?

Plum tree....looks like a good crop this year!

 

 

 

Bobo has no allergy issues and loves laying in the warm dirt. 

 

Dear Spring, I promise not to say bite me anymore!!

hahaha you can see my reflection is a couple of shots...too funny!

15 Minutes of Spring

Spring has sprung and along with it the wonders of nature. How can a weed grow 3 feet in four days but I can barely get my lemon tree to produce? Dandelions and clover abound, but my shamrocks (giant clover) do nothing.

I spent 15 minutes with spring today and here is my bounty:

That's right, my 96 gallon yard waste container is 1/4 full!! 

Bite me spring!!

This hill:

will be weeded by the end of the week. 15 minutes at a time. 

That big giant patch of funky green in the middle of the pic.....G-O-N-E!!!

The dandelion patch on the right: G-O-N-E!

Set your timer for 15 minutes and attack spring!!

(we have a tractor for the stuff behind the fence)
