The Quiet One

Spring has sprung! (Finally)

Ah green leaves!!!!!

New fern.

Hello old friend!

As you can see, Spring has finally arrived in my area. So glad to have the day off too! I needed a day where I could just chill out.

What a crazy week!!!!

What a crazy week!!! Had snowflakes for Monday and the temps in the 80s for today.

Well at the least now the trees are all starting to open up their new leaves. 

Snowflakes to Summer

Monday I got to watched snowflakes come falling down from the clouds and for this weekend, I'm getting the temps in the 80s. Then last night, a thunderstorm came through with a good dose of hail.

 Yea, April is such a fun month.

Well as the photo above shows, the green is returning to my area. Very slowly of course. After this warm weekend, everything will really start to pop open. Yes!

Still plugging along with the NaPoWriMo challenge. Just haven't had the time to work on them. I was hoping to spend this Sunday working on them but have to work this Sunday because nobody else will. Grr!! This the last time I work both Sat & Sun. Next time they want me to work a Sun, I'm demanding Sat off. I'm not doing both anymore.

Red not purple

I have no idea why the red bird is call a Purple finch, it's not purple. It's this wonderful warm red. Poor bird. The other bird is a Goldfinch or a yellow Finch.

As for other colors that are slowing to return to my world. Getting more green every day, the maples buds are opening beautifully now. It's kinda nice to see some the tree deck in a red haze. The other trees are too, slowly opening. It has been cold here these last couple days. Today finally it was in the upper 60s. I figure it will be May before I can take the flannel sheets off my bed.

Still doing the Napowrimo. Kinda goof on two days because I was sick. Yesterday i had one my famous all day headaches. Still went to work on the afternoon, done it before and survived. However, I caught this awful chill and then felt really sick. Went home and went to bed for couple hours.  I was hoping to spend the Sunday afternoon typing up the new poems. But somebody at work decide to quit without giving us two week notice. So I was nice and will work Sunday, at least I can catch up my work.

Lately I have been doing some collage work, nothing in grand scale. Just small pieces in a book I made. Enjoying it very much!!

No!!! it doesn't go with red maple buds

Oh I don't want this now. It's Spring!!!!!!!

All day it's been on and off snow showers!!!! NOOOOO!!!!

I don't that! I want warm tempertures and nice sunny day. With a few rainy days for the May flowers. There was a bit of sun today but the snowflakes were falling too.

Grr!!!!!

Oh Mr Old Man Winter!!! Go away and go to sleep!!

 

 

 

Odds and end for a rainy Monday

Yes, it's been a rainy Monday but i don't need the forecast of snowflakes too. Heck I might get a coating if all goes right.

NO!!!

I took this photo on 3/29. It was a foggy and rainy day. Just for the haha of it, i took the photo using the infrared lens. Was surprise how well it turn out. Look forward to doing some more.

I'm doing the NaPoWriPo challenge this year.  Doing it more for myself than the glory. I will post the poems.  Hoping to spend Wednesday afternoon typing up poems. Have been busy making decorations the kid's room at work.

So what to do with the kid's room Christmas tree? Turn it into a egg tree for Easter!! Complete with a two sets of lights that I did out my Christmas boxes. The tree actually has a set of lights but nobody really wanted to take the boxes of the top shelf. So now they can color a paper egg and hang on the tree. Tomorrow the preschool storytime group will get to color eggs and hang them. Looking forward to see what they come up with.

Still watching my Alaskan volcano . They downgrade the alert to an orange watch instead of the red warning. Funny thing about that,usually the next day, Redoubt does a bit explosions and the team watching it has raise the warning level back up to red.  

I do hope this area doesn't get any snowflakes, the red buds of the maples are opening up now.
