Okay… I know I’ve mentioned Cute Overload several times but, does it get any cuter? Take this pic for example. And to top it all off they now have a new site search (finally) button and a "caption this" section for all the budding witticists who want to post their observations and comments.

Finally a little bit of the sun’s rays are beaming down on us. If you look at the monthly weather report, you can see that Spring hasn’t really graced us yet. But every once in a while, we get a magnificent glimpse! And today is one of those days.

While having my first cup of coffee this morning, a flickering glimmer from one of our windows caught my eye. I opened the curtain to find the dew drops on a philodendron leaf image below. It’s as if nature were greeting me with a hardy "good morning!!!"
