I'm laughing because Jenny just had to reach out and touch him even though she's already being growled at for being in his space...
Poor Jake just can't get a break!

Hand held and SOOC (straight out of the camera)
I snapped two photos this evening...
I had just done chores and was coming back inside when I looked behind me and saw this whispy pink cloud, beautiful!! (SOOC = Straight out of the camera, no editing)
Then I looked to the East and saw the Moon...Not quiet full but almost! (Hand-held no tripod)
Just for those in the Cold frozen North Country...
This what it looks like here right now...(80 degrees F. and no wind)
Not a one...
I haven't taken one nature photo all week...The weather has been gorgeous too. Cool (50's) at night and warm (70's) during the day and lots of sunshine. I have been busy doing other things though.
I've been working on a Scrapbook for Michael called "Grandpa and Me". It's been a year since his Grandfather passed away and I wanted to give him the book last August for his birthday but I was having a rough time looking through all the photos throughout the years so I put it up. I opened it back up this past week and have been working on it again. Hopefully I'll finish it this year.
We also ordered two cases of girl scout cookies...Yummy! I was given a tip that if you put a Carmel Delight cookie in the microwave for a couple of seconds they are delicious...Oh My goodness they're oh so good...I put 4 Carmel delights on a paper towel and put them in our microwave for 8 seconds and now I'm in trouble...
So because of these...(my favorites)
I've been having to do a lot of walking with Jenny...
Yep I blame the gained pounds on the cookies and I'm trying to work them off by working with Jenny. Even after her obedience class she still needs fine tuning and today she was amazing! I think it finally clicked in her brain that she is suppose to walk with me and not pull me...she finally slowed down and walked beside me and it was so nice! I'm hoping to take another obedience class with her this spring and would like her to be on her best behavior and have everything she and I have learned previously down pat so we can continue...It's so nice to have a well behaved dog, really nice. She's such a good dog!
I haven't really seen anything new out and about...the hummingbirds are still coming to the feeder, the bees are keeping most of the other birds from the bird seed...I see a chickadee swoop in now and then and grab some seed. Hopefully our spring like weather will continue for a bit longer. Here's hoping everyone has a great rest of their week and an awesome weekend.

A little of this and that...
Turtles in the creek...
Inca doves in the yard...
Another gorgeous day and what did we do today? Not a darn thing except plant two rose bushes!

Our weekend in photos...
After our winter weather it seems like spring...
Friday we went for a 5 miles bike ride, those hills in the driveway aren't easy!
We spotted a nice bull on our bike ride but not one I'd like to mess with...
Jake and Jenny playing tug...
Saturday was spent giving Michael some tractor driving lessons. He's not ready to go it alone but he's learning. The clutch and brake pedals still confuse him...
Spent some time at the creek playing in the water until Michael noticed the seams on his boots have come apart...Uh Oh!
Reflections and peaceful until someone (no names mentioned) started throwing rocks in the water...
Give him a shovel and he'll stay busy for hours (while Momma worked around the property)...
I got the pool cleaned. I hope with the newly sprouted grass coming up on the Gas-line right of way will stop the dirt from blowing into the pool. Still to cold to swim, water temp was 54 degrees!
Yellow rumped warbler looking for bugs...
I am sure as it is only Sunday afternoon I'll take more photos but it has been a gorgeous weekend and spring seems to be in the air...
