Hunting for Morels

We didn’t find a lot of them, but we found enough to thoroughly enjoy a good mess of fried morels.

Severe Storms

Yesterday was a day full of severe thunderstorms.  The weathermen had a heyday.  Glen took some pictures of the hail we got while I was at work.  It was about quarter size hail.

Crooked

It was a nice warm afternoon and Petey was feeling kind of sleepy. 

Image

He had a hard time stifling a yawn.  It wasn’t until after I took the picture that I realized his tongue was crooked.

The fence

We are getting ready to put our plants out in our garden.  Since we live out in the country, we need to protect our precious veggies from critters.  So, we bought a nice electric fence.

Blossoms

The crabapple tree in our front yard finally bloomed.

Getting Ready

Getting ready to plant our garden.  Hopefully we will be able to put out our plants out the next week or so.

Butterfly

I have no idea what kind of butterfly this is.  I came across it last week on a hike during one of our warmer days.

Lunar Eclipse

Glen and I stayed up Monday night so that we could watch the lunar eclipse.  It was kind of cloudy and we were afraid we weren’t going to get to see any of it.  Thankfully, the clouds parted and we got several good shots.

This last picture was difficult to get since there was very little light for the camera to capture. 

 

Buds

I’m not sure what kind of tree this is.  The buds were pretty large, so I was thinking it may be a tulip tree.

Forsythia

It is finally starting to look like spring.  I went for a hike on a trail yesterday and saw a bunch of forsythia growing wild.  I hadn’t realized it had bloomed yet.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
