Ginger in all her glory #2

I can tell............You're all now WOWed!

Ginger in all her glory

Well...I never said she had much.

Robin Red Breast

I always thought the appearance of the Robin was one of the first signs of spring. As I sit at my computer and look out the window, I spy a flock of maybe 100 robins feeding on the bounty of my lawn. I can see them pulling worms (and I hope some of those pesky lady bugs) that are close to or on top of the lawn because of the heavy rain we've received the last few days. Isn't today January 7th? That was never spring to me, but always the middle of the winter.

School was canceled, AGAIN, yesterday with a 2 hour delay this morning. It rained. It is a balmy 40 degrees here in Front Royal, VA. I'm wondering, is this a Virginia thing...or a sign...

Ginger

Yes...that is her name. James, Shut it! She is absolutely adorable. First day, no accidents, good sign. She's scared and timid yet wandering. Here is a super cute picture for you.

I know.....

Here she is. The newest addition to our family. She is coming home tomorrow. The family is ecstatic!

What a Wonderful Reunion

Thanks so much to James and Liz for a terrific family reunion. It was such an interesting experience to be the Grandma and Grandpa for this reunion and so much fun to be with you all! We enjoyed telling and reading stories. We loved our Grandpa and Grandma time. It is quite a shock to come back and realize we have other responsibilities. Thankfully, our trip home was uneventful. All car belts and fluids pretty much stayed in place and "the van" brought us safely home!

Joe, we missed you, but hope you are healing (you wouldn't have at the reunion) :(

Here's you having fun!
