promises of spring

what our little shrubs looked like on Sunday morning after our first spring storm...we were the happy recipients of between 4-8 plus cm of heavy wet soggy snow....guess we need more moisture.....
another photo of our once dry deck...albeit our snowstorm did make for some great photos....




ah yes ! this playful deer was playing peek with the dogs and I ...late last week (I think when they stop coming to the feeder I am going to miss their visits)....




this little fellow came out last week when it was sunny and warm....wonder what he thought of the snow on Sunday.......




just one of the many icicles that have formed with all the melting snow....pretty as pretty can be...spring must be on its way.....
