Blooms

The sure sign that spring is almost here is the little sprouts of green on the trees. Crocus are coming up and soon there will be tulips. Only a week or two and it will be all green!! YEAH!!

Hummingbirds

Anyone who knows me knows that I love birds (especially my parrot Skipper). When I was a little girl I apparently found a dead one and buried it in my grandparents backyard in a checkbook box. Was that the start of this waiting to see a "live" hummer? The big bird excitement in my life right now is waiting for a hummingbird to show up at my feeder. There is a website that tracks their migration northward and every day I look to see how much longer I have to wait. Hopefully I will see one by this weekend. I'm ready. Feeder up, sign saying open for business, all I am missing is the little birds...sigh.

A - Ault Park

We have lived in Cincinnati for about 2 months now. I have seen signs for Ault Park as I drive to the store or the BMW Starbucks (that is usually that is all that is in the parking lot). So I finally decided to see if I could find it and I did. It is beautiful. It is at the top of one of the hills and you have scenic view of the Little Miami River Valley and different parts of the city. I can't wait for a few more weeks until everything is green is the flowers are blooming. I LOVE SPRING!!

Blizzard

I thought spring was here?

Well, moving 3 1/2 hours south to Cincinnati hasn't worked out so well in the weather department. We have had snow every single week. Yesterday morning I woke up to no snow and 45 minutes later my car was covered. By lunch time pretty much everything was shut down. I work for a large bank and the only way we close is when it's a level 3 snow emergency. I got my wish today!! No work...whoo hooo

My poor car (today)
