Ahhh the Warm Weather

It seems as though Spring has finally arrived. We have a week of 60 to 70 degree weather ahead and it makes me forget that it snowed just a little while ago. Another great reminder is all of the flowers that are beginning to bloom. Thanks to my neighbor's green thumb, I get to go out and appreciate the beauty!

Dandelion Delight

You know the weather is getting warmer when the dandelions start appearing. Even though it is a weed, it is still a pretty flower.

Thank You For Your Service

I had the privilege to attend a luncheon for female veterans. It was good to catch up with old friends and make new friends. It especially was good to have the camaraderie of fellow female veterans. They had door-prizes and I got lucky to have my ticket called. We were allowed to pick anything on the table and I picked the Gerbera Daisy plant. The pot has the stars and stripes on it. So it is patriotic. The flowers brightened the apartment up. It brings a little bit of Spring in early and of course, I had to take some pictures. Here are a couple of the pictures.

After the Storm

It is amazing what difference a few days make. Just a couple of days ago we were in the dark with freezing rain and sleet falling. There were branches falling off of trees because of the weight of the ice. In my last post, I posted just a small portion of the iced over tree. Today the temperature is in the upper 70's and the ice is long gone. Fortunately I have power but so many other people don't. Here is the tree minus the ice. I found one of the tree next to this one with the ice and am adding it here.

Another Winter Storm

It has been a rough winter here in the south. 70 degree days followed by an ice storm that left over 500,000 people without power for multiple days. Here are some pictures from here.
