The room I have at FES has become the dumping grounds for all things unwanted. Someone put an old opaque projector (remember those) in there. This is me and my room reflected in the lens.

Donald and I were sitting on the deck for a bit tonight when we realized the dogwood in the woods is beginning to bloom. I was standing on the deck to take this shot.

The azaleas in my front yard are just beginning to bloom. I've never really like white azaleas, but they are pretty while they last.

More flowers that were given to my mother in law. This happens to be part of an arrangement her granddaughters sent her.

This is Friday's picture even though I'm late posting it. My Mother in Law had a massive stroke on Wednesday. This is one of the flowers from an arrangement someone sent her.

Nothing spectacular about this daffodil, until you know the story. Last year, my sister in law dug up some of her bulbs and gave me a box of them. I never got around to planting them so they have been sitting in the box outside our garage in the backyard. Today, when i went around the corner I couldn't help but smile when I saw this pretty flower.

I didn't let Thug come with me while I was taking pictures today. This is where he stood and how he looked the whole time I was outside. Don't you feel sorry for him?

Looks like lots of rain is headed our way. We decided to take advantage of the last clear evening and grill burgers, turkey for me, beef for Donald.

Bluebirds are my favorite, for the simple reason that they are blue. This little guy has been trying to decide if he wants to start his family in my bluebird house or somewhere else. He will hang out at the entrance of the house, but never goes in. Just yesterday Donald saw the female. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

UNC-Charlotte, this campus has grown so much since I was a student here. This shot attempts to capture the old and the new. You can see the dorm where I lived to the right (white building). To the left of the tall, brick building is the Belk Tower. Everything else you see is new.

I have been wanting to take pictures of this tree for a couple of weeks now, but timing was never right. I have no idea what it is, but these flowers are all over it. Just beautiful!

For some odd reason, I have a fascination with old cemeteries. This cemetery happens to be on the school grounds of our newest elementary school. I could spend hours in there looking at the graves and wondering about the people who are buried there. This particular grave is of a six month old little girl that died in 1910. Makes me sad to think of how her parents must have felt, and how much they must have loved her.

When I first moved into this house, I wanted some sort of border by the driveway. I spent one spring break digging a small trench and hauling rocks from the backyard for the rock wall. We selected pachysandra for the ground cover. I had no idea it would bloom, but am delighted that it does!
Incidentally, the building of this rock wall is how I originally hurt my back. That's why it's not finished. Maybe one day.

I had to dash from one school to another today, but on my way out of the parking lot I noticed the cherry trees were blooming. Of course, I had to stop and take a few pictures. The last few days it hasn't felt like spring, but no one told the flowers.

It has rained non-stop since Friday. I tried very hard to get a raindrop splash, and came close to getting what I wanted.

I completely forgot about taking pictures until 8:25 tonight! What you get today is my freshly pedicured toes. Santa put a gift certificate in my stocking and today was the day I went. Gotta love the bright pink.

Donald, Dottie and I went out to dinner tonight. Thug the pug was so excited to see us when we got home that he decided to show off with a chew toy!

These flowers grow in our front yard. Donald thinks they are weeds, and keeps mowing them down. I think they are beautiful so I dug some up and planted them by the mailbox. The yard flowers keep coming up, and they grow much better than the ones I planted at the mailbox! Does anyone know what they are?

What a beautiful evening! Dottie and I took a walk after dinner so we could take some pictures. You can see the haze around the moon. Does that mean it's going to rain?

Tomorrow is Liz's birthday, but we are celebrating tonight! Donald got oysters (Liz's favorite) when he went to the coast this week. We've got an oyster roast and a bonfire! Happy Birthday Liz!

We went wedding dress shopping today. For the record, this is not THE dress, but I love the picture!

I have been at a conference all day today. I was so tired when I got home, that this is the only picture I felt like taking. I had to bribe him with a carrot to get this expression.

It snowed a very wet, very heavy snow last night. All the bushes, tree limbs, and my poor daffodils were weighted down. Oddly enough, it is not unusual to have a March snow here in NC.

All day long they've been calling for snow. Now they tell us it will happen overnight. The dilemma is should I take a chance that schools will be closed and I'll have a day off or not? March is certainly coming in like a lion this year.
