Sunny Days are Here Again

Take a look.  I wasn't the only one venturing outside for the first taste of real sun with real warmth behind it.  The croci were too.





And what do I spy with my little camera eye?  A scattering of  succulents.  :-)






The birds were out, too--but this isn't the first we've seen the cardinals and chickadees.  As you can tell, they squat all year long.  At least they are pretty squatters.





But thanks to the temps, I could lay down a beach towel and . . .  well, not sun bathe, but make like a hunk o' innocuous junk in the yard.  That's how I got these closeups.







Until a bee much like these conspiring duo from last year came and buzzed me.

I'm afraid birds don't believe in the innocence of junk that screams and rolls around like a dog on fire.




Anyway, we all enjoyed the sun while it lasted.
