Ice Let Loose

I was in the right place at the right time the other day and got to watch as the huge chunk of ice let loose from the bottom of the pond. I took a few pictures though they show nothing compared to actually being there. Soon the frogs will be croaking away, and I'll have to use Tracy's camera to capture the noisy, noisy sound. They go all day and all night in the spring.

Meanwhile, I'll be taking off the rest of the month from my blogging. Lord willing, I'll be back May 1.

Aussie-dog, My Protector

Aussie saw a plastic bag in the woods and decided he needed to protect me from it. He took off and was growling and barking and growling some more, all to save me from the plastic bag that wasn't going anywhere or doing anything to me! Oh well, at least I know his growling is good for something. I have now finished raking all around the house out so far so we can begin mowing. Ha! In trying to preview this, I had the volume up so I could try to hear his growling. He heard himself and came flying across the room to the computer barking and growling some more. What a terrible racket he makes. The crazy dog even barks and growls at us!

The Bib

A friend made Tracy this bib many years ago. The poor thing has been through a lot--six kids plus numerous day care children. It's all tattered and torn now; when it was new, I had such a hard time using it because it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO pretty!

Silly Saturday

Aaron made a Lego duck today.

Art Projects

Emily took pictures of Melissa who's displaying the art they worked on today.

Third Degree

Alright, if Tracy's going to blog about me, it's only fair that I can blog about her. :) Last week our grocery store had these air fresheners for 59 cents (plus tax) so I decided it might be fun to get one. I remember picking peonies at my great-grandmother's house in the cities so picked that scent. You'll have to know me...I hardly ever buy anything just for the sake of buying. Tracy had to ask me all sorts of questions including one to the tune of, "If it hadn't have been 59 cents, would you have still bought it?" Well, no, I wouldn't have. :) Usually the daddy does all the "fun" purchases so yes, this is totally unlike me. Am I worth 59 cents????? Anyone?????
