Bird house number one is hanging in the front of the house. No tenants yet. Bird house number two was hung on a baby pine tree this morning.
Bird house number three was hung on the tree right outside the bedroom door, which is also the first tree in the yard to start coming alive. Green!
Finally, for now at least, the bird feeders are full. It’s Spring, babie! Enjoy!
Our kitchen is green. It’s been green since we moved in. We’ve always talked about repainting but just haven’t done it. We were just talking about it in terms of remodeling the whole kitchen and Jen said she was okay with keeping it green. She said green and white was nice.
I countered with this:
Erin go Bragh, am I right?
Last night when I got home from work I noticed that the back yard was littered with dandelions. This morning when I woke up they were all gone. I figured the deer must have come by and eaten them all. Tonight I notice that the yard is again lousy with dandelions.
So it just goes to show you that by not mowing the grass I am not artificially removing a source of food for the local wildlife. By ignoring the lawn I am saving the environment.
I’m all green, babie.
You can say what you will about getting a huge rain storm pretty much every day this summer, but I’ve never had grass even remotely this green.
One thing that telecommuting allows you to do is be a little productive around the house during lunch breaks. Lately I have spent my at-home-lunches recording music. Today I took out some trash, brought the barrels in from outside so that the hungry wild kingdom can’t spill them all over the yard, and I cleaned out the cat’s litter box. It cannot be said that our Patches is full of shit. No way.
Anyway, when I walked outside I strolled around to the back of the house to make sure the yard survived the winter and I saw something I’d been seriously hoping to see… longing to see… needing to see.
Color.
Actual color. Not the drab winter brownish/nothing color, but actual green.
Check it out! There are actual green places in the woods behind the house! Oh Happy Spring!
Oh yeah, and there is also a kitty named Patches.
Spring. It’s here. It’s really here. Granted it’s pretty cold out there right now, but it’s still Spring. Screw you, winter!
