Rain was the word for this past weekend and a lot of it!! So, since Sunday afternoon was blah and rainy and we didn't even get out of the house, a photo of the large rain drops sitting on new green leaves seemed to be a great idea.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
Spent a lot of time in the yard yesterday...cut the grass for the first time this year, applied some weed & feed stuff to make the grass look good, and ran the weed eater. In the process, I noticed a couple of the first signs that spring was arriving. The first is the dandelion with the yellow flowers and puffballs that kids usually love. So, since it's been kind of a lazy day, I thought I'd share these one of these first signs of spring.

Where have I heard that lyric? It's the only part of whatever song it is. It's 'sung' in a slow staccatto, clipped rythym, with an emphatic "Hunh!" at the end for emphasis... Dang!
So, "Operation Get Bernie Sanders" seems to have been put in motion, as one Democrat candidate after the other suddenly fold their tent and bow out of the race, while their commercials are still airing. Pete Buttigeig, Tom Steyers, and Amy Klobachar have dropped their candidacy.
The question is why? Why now, just before Super Tuesday, when anything can happen, and while their ads are still running? Why would you do that?
Well, in at least one case (Buttigeig), it appears to be immediately after a conversation with Barack Obama, who must have either promised he could be next, or made him a offer he couldn't refuse, Godfather-style. Although.. that would be more Hillary's style, to be honest.
It shows that whoever gets nominated on the Democrat side, it won't be entirely the choice of the Democrat voters. There is power behind the throne, and if he gets there, Biden will be in their debt and control. So, who are they actually voting into power?
We have 4 hydrengea bushes outside that my wife fell in love with when we looked at this house. Two have blue blossoms and have started blooming; the other two are purple and have not started yet.
Springtime is such a wonderful time to take photographs...

When I looked out at our backyard this sunny March 17, 2024, I saw the first Bird of Paradise bloom of the year and grabbed my Canon Powershot SX50. After I grabbed some shots of the TWO birds of paradise blooms, I saw several other buds on our fruit trees and this lovely blossom on our Donut Peach tree. I captured this image with my camera set at macro and spot focus, almost touching the flower when I depressed the shutter button. Looking forward to many more such beauty in the days to follow. Tap on the image once or twice to see the macro effect.
And Quack and I both very happy about that!
Today Quack has been busy helping me to start organise some Easter goodies (yes,it's a bit early but the sun is shining and we are ready to say good riddance to winter)
Photo-a-day Lent Calendar for A Hobbling A Day. Still Winter, but Spring is definitely in the air.
Marai Daehne and I talked about doing a Lent Calendar after last December's Advent Calendar.
(whenever I see a willow I think of tom bombadil and the hobbits)
The real thing (ortonized in pic uploaded yesterday).
In large size you can see the magnolia that marks the end of my walk (I don't have time to go to the end of the road); some of the trees look autumnal, it's the colour of the new branches growing.
Regardless of the up and down weather that a lot of the U.S. is experiencing, Spring in Middle Tennessee is arriving anyway. As I was out and about yesterday, I noticed the buds and blooms on nearly all my trees and bushes starting to pop out. With today being a cold, rainy day, I decided that those blooms would make a nice 'Spring is coming!' photo even though it might not feel like it...

White car in the driveway, released from its snowdrift.
It is March 16, 2017, 4 days before the Vernal Equinox, the start of Spring. Winter storm Stella hit at 2:30 March 14, 2017. It is 5:00 AM, the day after the blizzard. The weather cleared off this afternoon and turned quite pretty, assuming you like deep, fluffy snow.
