Here are some pictures of today, April 29th.
April showers bring May flowers. . .well not when it won’t quit snowing.
The Spring That Wasn’t — April 2013

Friday May 6th
Good morning! Here are a few shots of the slough, er, pond in Bon Accord. It’s at the corner of my street and I love walking by it in the morning. The red-winged blackbirds are busy nesting and making all kinds of trilling sounds as they flit from branch to bull-rush. They go into survivor mode the instant they spot an intruder. Tons of fun to watch. Right now we’ve got some very healthy looking duck families swimming about. They’ve got their nests in the reeds and at the sound of anyone approaching they all start swimming out into the middle of the water. The one semi-close up I got is blurry on enlargement, so I’ll have to try again when I can get out with the tripod. Anyway, the pond looked beautiful this morning so I thought I’d share.
On a totally different note. . .
WAY TO GO CANUCKS! I don’t want to jinx anything by saying anything too positive, but they’re up in the series 3 games to 1. They’re on home ice Saturday and Nashville will be looking for some major pay-back, so it’s bound to be a nail-biter. I think I’ll make a crock-pot lasagna (thank you Jenn — it is very good), grab a couple of cold beers and settle in for some good entertainment on Saturday. I’m lookin’ forward to the weekend!
Well, it’s that time again — time to get ready for work. TGIF
Oh, but I wanted to share this too, from my garden:
