I COULD TELL SUBIE WAS WONDERING WHY WE HAVEN'T GONE ANYWHERE

 TROTTED OUT A FEW MORE SUMMER THINGS TODAY

Sunshine, need I say more:))  Stepping outside this morning, I was immediately surprised at how much growth over the past couple of days I saw protruding from our flower beds, and how some of our trees already had blossoms on them.  Despite morning's 37F temps, Spring is surging forward here in the northern hemisphere with the last vestiges of snow, now a faded memory.  Well, I wrote that line too soon earlier today because this afternoon we had snow flurries.  Nothing accumulated on the ground, but it was definitely snowing several times, and at one point, the sun was shining.  I don't remember ever seeing that before.  Sunshine and snow are usually never seen together.  

 FLOWERS AT THE CORNER OF OUR HOUSE

 DAY LILIES ARE GROWING TALLER

OUR FRONT YARD ORNAMENTAL CHERRY TREE IS IN BLOOM

With loose ends to tidy up after Saturday's inside clean-up and reorganizing, I got right at things again this morning.  And, a few little outside jobs to tidy up as well.  At one point, I thought I heard a big sigh, and looked over towards the carport.  The car hasn't moved since I came home Friday night, and I could tell Subie was wondering why we haven't gone anywhere.  Oh well, maybe tonight I can take Subie for a spin and head out to have a look at the night sky.......if the skies clear up a bit that is.  

OLD SOL IS ENJOYING A FEW OF HIS OWN RAYS

HOSTAS ARE POKING OUT OF THE GROUND

 ALTHOUGH NOT IN BLOOM YET, I DID SPOT THIS TRILLIUM FLOWER IN A FRONT YARD FLOWER BED

 AND YES, THAT IS SNOW YOU SEE IN THE AIR

 'PLEASE LORD, NO MORE SNOW'

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A blonde went to a flight school insisting she wanted to learn to fly. As all the planes were currently in use, the owner agreed toinstruct her by radio on how to pilot the solo helicopter. He took her out, showed her how to start it and gave her the basics, and sent her on her way. After she climbed 1000 feet, she radioed in. "I'm doing great! I love it! The view is so beautiful, and I'm starting to get the hang of this." After 2000 feet, she radioed again, saying how easy it was to fly. The instructor watched her climb to over 3000 feet, and was beginning to worry that she hadn't radioed in. A few minutes later, he watched in horror as she crashed about half a mile away. He ran over and pulled her from the wreckage. When he asked what happened, she said, "I don't know! Everything was going fine, but as I got higher, I was starting to get cold. I can barely remember anything after I turned off the big fan!"

"I don't know, I wasn't listening."

More than anything, Bob wanted to be a cowpoke. Taking pity on him, a rancher decided to hire the lad and give him a chance. "This," he said, showing him a rope, "is a lariat. We use it to catch cows."  "I see," said Bob, trying to seem knowledgeable as he examined the lariat. "And what do you use for bait?"
