House And Hedge On The First Day Of Spring

The grass is getting green, can the hedges and trees be far behind?

Today is the first day of spring or the in astronomical terms the vernal equinox when the sun crosses the equator on its journey toward the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn. Spring lasts until the start of summer at the summer solstice.

Happy First Day of Spring everyone!

The Fork Ran Away With The Spoon

That doesn't sound right, the fork running away with the spoon. I guess this photo is a contemporary version of the nursery rhyme Hey, Diddle Diddle ending with "and the dish ran away with the spoon."

First photo from Pixdaus.
Second photo is mine.

Goodnight. Sleep Tight.

I can hardly wait to jump in my clean bed with all the line dried linens. I even washed my down comforter today. I have all white on my bed too. Goodnight. Sleep tight. See you in the morning. It was such a beautiful day. Just got back from eating Mexican food with a friend. Yum.

Laundry Day Here At The Cottage

The washer is on the spin cycle right now. I can hardly wait to hang the first load on the line. The ironing board is up for quick pressings before putting the clothes away. It is going to be in the high 60s or low 70s today. So happy. Later, Rosemary
