Croaking away from every direction. That's springtime sounds! Our blossoms have been out for weeks, way too early, by about three weeks. The tulip festival held in April will spend the last two weeks without tulips.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-53670849300379181232010-03-18T20:02:30.936-05:002010-03-18T20:02:30.936-05:00I can tell Spring has arrived in California (no bo...I can tell Spring has arrived in California (no booos please) by the incredible waves of scent from the opening of the pink jasmine flowers. It is so hypnotic that it could put a person in a trance.....I leave a door open at night and the gorgeous aroma fills the house and blankets me when I wake in the morning. The blossoms turn white when they open and are lovely in themselves, but it is the scent that makes you head spin.....it lasts for a week or 10 days.....heavenly.Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398370059689865989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-67028385469942629322010-03-18T18:42:59.925-05:002010-03-18T18:42:59.925-05:00I have to buy some Frontline tomorrow.

We are expecting snow and freezing temps this weekend so it will likely damage the blooms. Robins are our first sign of spring here too. <br /><br />Isn't it funny how dogs distinguish between colors. How can anyone know what they really see? Piper has his favorites too. Carries one particular yellow ball to bed each night. I think he has Dog OCD.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-38314871932239277622010-03-18T15:07:29.046-05:002010-03-18T15:07:29.046-05:00When I see the blue birds!
