the neighborhood bittersweet vine (wild, not tame) -- it's finally getting some growth to it....

snow capped purple coneflower seed head --- i never dead head the purple coneflowers -- all winter long the birds nibble and they "self-seed" ... we have an abundance of purple coneflowers.

it was a good one !

spike & ike -- hanging out in the shade of the neighbors tree -- waiting for mama

hope - blessings - opportunities - possibilities

frosted pines

so no driving on this field road until it melts....hopefully soon, slowly, but soon
