She looks fabulous!

We got the only snow of the winter (so far?) on Monday, about 3 inches, but it's already gone. Which I'm totally fine with in most respects, but I wish I'd gotten to take a few pictures first.

Shoulda sent Hot Girl next door for a little arson fun while the neighbors were gone.

Heh.  I'm pretty sure if I could use the Force I'd be flirting heavily with the Dark Side...

Wow, the only snow??  Lucky you!  Is that unusual?

10 weeks into the year already.  That's a little disturbing.... I had hoped to see a bit more progress on certain things... 



Something for the Dal House March Poetry Challenge....

it's March, it's spring
why is snow still a Thing
all this cold
is getting old
we want palm trees
not bare knees
that freeze
no matter the date
spring's always late
this weather sucks
we have no *****
to give for winter

Is that glacier advancing or retreating.

I hear ya about the "ten weeks" thing. The time is evaporating -- faster than the glaciers are melting, even -- and I feel I am accomplishing very little.

I like the way Tennis Girl is optimistically looking forward to spring. Red, although she has her skateboard just in case, is bundled up, suggesting her optimism is tinged with pessimism. Maybe she needs a snow board.

Winter doesn't want to let go.  Another storm this week, and thanks to A.H. Construction having clearcut right up to the property line, FOUR more trees are casualties.  I'm waiting for the biggest, and the one it's leaning on, to come crashing down on my garden...   again... 



Had to do something with the green-haired girls for St. Patrick's Day.  A quick shoot on the cold back porch in lousy light.  Here are Sara & Doryn.  I love how well they match; I hadn't planned a mom/daughter thing for them as with Dawn & Sunsette, but they sure do look like it, don't they.

Yes, these figs do bear a strong family resemblance.

Your property situation leaves me feeling so sad... which is nothing compared to how you feel, I'm sure. So basically, by clear-cutting the woodlot property, the new owner clearcut your property as well. I suppose pursuing some kind of legal recourse would cost a fortune without guaranteed results.

I'm not looking forward to heading back to Utah next week. Winter ain't letting up there, either, with snow in the forecast all week. Snowpack levels are at 200% of "normal" throughout most of the state.

The Yuppie Influx has hit here too.

The rich folk are cutting down EVERYTHING.

Remote work means the woodlands are being colonized by rich people who build giant apartment buildings and destroy our trees...  Ugh.

Our neighborhood pet deer have run off because the rich folk cut down their woods. :(  Our neighborhood loved those deer.  We fed them.  They had names. :(

I wonder what they'll do when there are no woodlands left and they all live in high-rise sardine cans with no trees.  :'(
