With the economy these days, I know budget cuts need to be made, but poor little Johnny could get hurt if he jumped off the dock.

One of my cousins, according to my aunt, reached the AARP age with his birthday yesterday. I think this shed has reached the AARP age several years ago with a sag here and there on the foundation wall.

Donkeys never seem to look real happy and this one should be happy when it is summer time as there would be more reasons in the winter to look unhappy especially after another cold day.

A white flower might not be too showy compared to yellow, pinks and blues, but any wildflower, even a white Trillium, would look better than white snow drifts.

Sunny, smiling daffodils would be nice to see and they are blooming in some states already, if they poked their heads up around here, they would find themselves under three feet of snow.

Like some of the birds, this Red Admiral butterfly heads south for the winter, something that I think a lot of people in the north would like to do after another day with wind chill advisories. The Red Admiral spends the winter in southern Texas instead of the frozen states like Wisconsin. And while butterflies are often thought to be simple and carefree, some butterflies like the Red Admiral are very territorial and defend their area with patrolling flights and complex interactions in flight with intruders of their own species. Too bad the butterfly can’t chase winter away!

I guess I shouldn’t have complained about the cold, sunny day yesterday since it was cloudy today and even colder with a few snow flakes in the air too. The drab day increases the desire for spring and colorful wildflowers.

Blue flowers with hint of yellow centers is more pleasing to look at than blue sky and the sun on a cold winter day. These early spring bulbs won’t be emerging through the frost and snow pack for a while yet though.

Although the sun was out and make the snow bright, it didn’t feel too warm outside, so I rather see some sunflowers brightening the fields with busy bees buzzing around. But that dang groundhog said winter would be a long one!
