After the Snow

 So last week we had 18 inches of snow; it's almost all melted; it was warm enough today to work outside in short sleeves!

 And I noticed this  rose starting to bloom on one of my plants!  Kind of late in the season for flowers to be blooming here!

There are quite a few settings on my G12 that i haven't tried out, so I tried the Vivid Color setting for this photo.  Makes quite a difference in the colors!

Rafe's play date

We had snow again yesterday, but it was a bit warmer--up to 30. The past week has been very cold & even the dog hasn't wanted to go out. Alan couldn't get his tractor started ( needs to move it out of the barn so he can put his car in there while we are away), so he asked a friend to come over & help. Looking down the driveway. The friend brought his dog, Homer along to play with Rafe. He hasn't gotten much exercise lately so it was a treat. The meeting......

They ran around a bit , but Homer was a little too aggressive & Rafe wouldn't put up with that--he's much bigger, too. So he just walked away & came in the house!

The Black Lab statue we got around the time we got Rafe.......... The tractor was fixed fairly easily--needed a loose connection tightened!
