A mouthful of snow

What's better than retrieving big sticks? Trying to catch snowballs, of course.

With temperatures like we had today and what's forecast for the week, there won't be many more snowballs until next winter.

Stand-ins

Until we get the real thing, these ducks will have to do. They're floating in one of our waterlily tubs. Those are glass bubbles floating along with them.

Birds, birds, birds

I came across this blog the other day, twinbeaks.blogspot.com and wanted to share it because, hey, if you like gardening, you probably like birds, too. It's written by Laura Erickson of Duluth, Minn., who works for the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. It's full of great bird photos. Enjoy!
