Couch kitty for ABC Wednesday

This kitty has a knack for finding comfort, not that I am kvetching.  If only she were (k)nodding off and (k)napping on a kilim rug,  my K-blog would not have gone kaflooey.  But the kitty, Miss Abbey Rose, is a knock-out, isn't she!
Enjoy less kerflooey K-blogs on Mrs. N and company's ABC Wednesday.  And take the time to kibitz about them in the comment section!

Mary and Joe's beautiful eggs

Friday was a banner day for Mary and Joe's chickens -- all 22 laid an egg that day.  This is a portion of them Mary brought me when we had tea and a confab that afternoon.  I dedicate this photo to the girls at Mary and Joe's and the girls at Mrs. Nesbitt's.  Nothing better tasting than eggs from free range chickens!

Reflecting shadows

Two for one: Weekend Reflections and Shadow Shot Sunday!   A handmade kaleidoscope on the cherry table in the eastern nook of the house gives color to the shadows of the lamp and rosemary plant

Yes, the sun is shining again today, and to help you understand why I seem to harp on sunny days here is a statistic from today's Kalamazoo Gazette.  The average number of sunny days a year in Southwest Michigan is between 83 and 116.  Yikes, nowhere near even half!  Hmmmm, maybe I should count up how many times my blog has featured sun in the past year.

How we feel about a sunny day

Willow and I took a long walk on this sunny day, and as I started to flag she was still roaring to go.  Still no real green in those old grasses, but soon we hope.  Again this morning the temperature is below 20,  but it will be sunny again today!

Update on yesterday's crocus: somebody ate it last night! 

Spring?

Brrrrr! this crocus is saying.   Despite the sun, our temperatures are starting the day much below average for this time in March.  20, not 30, or even 35, which are the averages according to the Channel 8 weatherman.  So this little guy seems uncertain about opening up just yet.  Yesterday, the day time temperatures made it over freezing, but just.  But that was OK for a long walk in the woods with Willow.  Tomorrow I will show you how she is feeling about the sunny days.
