Spring beginnings!

I had been delighted that our winter weather 

had gone and I could see the grass again!  

One beautiful morning I wandered out to the 

garden area and placed my new obelisks. 

At first I set one up on this cement base...to 

my surprise it fit on it like it was made for it..

but the look just wasn't right...

I stood there staring at the fountain 

wondering where I should put them and 

finally I decided to try them behind the 

fountain rather than out in front...

After moving them several times I 

finally decided this was the

spot for them! Once the hostas

start coming in it will fill in nicely

and these will look great!

I did say I "had" enjoyed this lovely

weather which was April 12th...

 Low and behold mother nature decided to 

pull a fast one on us and on April 19th we got 

nailed with 6 inches of snow...I took these 

pictures after the first two hours 

had passed...it just kept coming through 

the night... ugh...

Don't forget you can click on a picture and see it larger!
The birds were a bit surprised too, I felt sorry 

for them, especially the ones like the Juncos 

and Robins that feed off the ground...

I was delighted to see this purple finch in the

mix...see the female on the left bird feeder! 

The Goldfinches are all decked out in their 

best yellow colors!

Sparrows and Juncos all trying to find some food!

It's almost Easter and this year it's very late...

who would of thought we would have snow again!

I found this on the internet and couldn't 

resist snatching a copy of it!  

Aren't they the cutest!

Happy Spring and Happy Easter!
