Mark Twain quote about spring . . .

Illustrated Quote by Mark Twain posted on the first day of Spring. The snow has already melted and now my lawn is full of robins!

This is so true...especially today. I woke up to snow. Two hours later it has already melted. Such a strange and wonderful first day of spring.

What is it like in your neck of the woods?

Mother Nature is laughing . . .

This is the reality of the first day of spring at my house!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I woke up this morning to a wet snow. Webster couldn't believe it either as he looks out of the studio window trying to remember playing with his soccer ball yesterday after the rain. That's my tv in the middle. I have it on an old revolving potter's stand that is perfect. I can watch television and look out the windows at the same time.

Mother Nature is having a great big laugh. I really don't care as long as the white stuff doesn't get deep enough to plow.

Timely George Washington Quote about Debt . . .

Isn't this the best quote you've seen in ages? It is over 200 years old and still rings true. Too bad it is not practiced. Our national debt is incomrehensible to me.

Life List | Best video book review ever . . .


Life List by Olivia Gentile

Now this is a "must read" for me. I am not officially a birder but I do love birdwatching.

This is the true story of a woman with only one year to live who decided to see every bird in the world. Click on the image and/or link above and you will be transported to the best video book review I have ever seen.

It was awesome, wasn't it? Don't you want to read this book too?
