I just love clouds and this week, we had blessed rain. No not a torrent, a gentle 10 drops, then stop, then a bit of drizzle, then stop, repeat.

| love the clouds when they announce rain is a'comin' |

I LOVE tulips and these neighbors' are pretty in purple to pinks
It's been nearly too hot to walk this week, but I have a couple photos...
(Alfie: well, it is hot and one might think the mama would appreciate her poodle reminding her to stop and smell the roses! Of course while we stop I'll be smelling the trees and grass to check my pee-mail)
bird watching, rockin' robins!!!
The robins are back and pretty cheeky! They do not fear Alfie or me. Both of us like to watch them too

I want to keep going at a high speed, so now when he stops, I stop and pull my abdomen in and practice good posture til he's done. Since it's been just over a week now, I am seeing him walk longer between sniffs
It's been a long time coming as the song says. Milo passed over a year ago. We think we've found the sweetest boy to join our family and help us love again. He is 20 months old, a standard poodle, very skinny at 50 lbs and such a gentleman.

with snow that melted in two days. Three days later the temps are in the 60;s in the sun headed to sustained heat. We might have had random warm days in the past winters but now
too warm all the time but for one or two days of cold. We looked forward to cold winters when we decided to move here.
On my walks this week
