Springing forward is not something that is always done gracefully. People tend to get grouchy when losing an hour of sleep. But, I must stay thankful for being able to be springy at all. With a gentle reminder that I no longer live in a city, this afternoon I found a deer leg near our back door. Yep. Not a deer. Nor any other part of a deer. Just a complete deer leg.
At first I thought maybe it was a stick or part of a plant, but then I remembered how none of the plants in our yard have a hoof. I'm guessing the owner of this leg is not feeling too springy right now and would settle for only being a little grumpy for missing an hour of sleep.
So, with the determination of springing into spring, it was time to take out the to-do list. Here are some moments throughout the day.
 |
| Only had to shovel a little to get it to fit. |
 |
| Inside stayed in the 50s. Just like a plant spa. |
 |
| Got bike road read. Went for a ride. Popped a tire. |
 |
| Put a flicker house up on the market. Hope we get some tenants! |
 |
| Sprouts just about ready to be transplanted. |
 |
| Starting to see more colors outside (flicker house in distance). |
 |
| Temporary snow melt stream going through the back of our woods. |
All in all it was a great day. I look forward to spring and all the change and work it will bring. I can tackle anything that comes my way, long as I can keep all my legs where they are supposed to be.
Additionally, I hope that everyone in Japan and Libya (well not every
ONE in Libya) stay springy and are able to get where they need to be to stay safe. You're in our thoughts.
My dog Oliver always use to bring deer legs into the yarn! I grew up in the woods so deer would get caught in a trap, or killed and the hunter couldn't find them, and Oliver would bring the bodies, or parts of the bodies, into the yard! The real question here is what animal is trying to show off by bringing you animal parts?!
ReplyDeleteWOW in all the years we lived there we never experienced anything like that. We did have a neighbor dog "Rosie" who would drop potted plants by the back door. Never did figure out where all she was getting them.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great yard Lucas the best is yet to come.
Allyson, I very much like the thought that an animal is trying to "show off" by bringing me this present! I was a little afraid that it was a Godfather type of threat. You know like, "This means Luca Brasi leaps in the meadow with Bambi's mom."
ReplyDeleteMary, we are starting to see some bulbs push out of the ground. Can't wait to see what they become!
