Our backyard friends are enjoying this glorious sunny morning in their secluded retreat, hanging under a spray of Cherry blooms. Swinging in the breeze, while peeking their little heads out warbling a chirpy good morning. This has got to be a true sign that spring has finally arrived!
Currently, my bottom is sitting in Brooksville, Florida. After a one month stay tomorrow morning I’ll be on a plane heading back to New Hampshire. It’s nice to get away but deep in my heart there is really no place like home.
As I sit here at the kitchen table it’s a peaceful sunny morning, other than, a couple of squirrels playing tag up above on the aluminum roof. Earlier, I put the morning coffee on and was surprised when pulling the blinds up to let light in, right outside the window was a armadillo, which seems out of character for what I believe to be an nocturnal mammal. I had never seen one so closely before. Its banded hard shell was pretty captivating. Luckily my camera was in reach to capture a few shots. What a great start to my day!

Last nights rain, sleet, and heavy wet snow laid on the power lines, knocked the power out earlier this morning at about 5am for a good 4hrs. Mid morning settled down to a light snowfall. The inspiriting beauty called out to be captured, and I headed out the door with a mug of coffee and camera in hand.
Though, while heading out in to the frosty air I did have to convince myself the cold bitter air would be energizing as the snow crunched below my boots.
The only color around was this vacant summer cottage looking pretty cozy covered in snow. A lovely laced valance hung in the window, a charming little place! I wondered if it had a fireplace?
A few of natures surprises, snow covered berries and golden spikes of grass.
I had even met a few friends a long the way, chickadee and bluejay.
Thanks for walking along, stay well my friend.
