Once upon a time men could speak honestly and wisely and people would listen. Now it seems that propaganda is the preferred method of communication regardless if there is any truth behind it or not.

^that is beautiful, but i'd rather have view of post 61 for spring anyday.

here there is not a cloud in the sky, 40 degrees and not a single bud on a tree. just 10 minutes down the mountain; trees are budding, dogwood, cherry blossoms, goldenrod and azaleas are in full bloom.

@C.C.Sinned,

AGREED ! I am a person who does love winter, but the transition months are wet with mud. Ready for green, dry roads, gettin the bike out. Come fall, look forward to snow, but around March, ready for it to start the transition, albeit that is two months of MUD. Followed by the fire season into late fall, when the rains start again.

We have Moyie in May. A HUGE mudfest. I have a shell of 79 bronco in the barn, body is trash. Really thinking of completely gutting it to the body/frame, a set of 60's, lincoln lock the rear axle, ARB the front, 44" Super Swamper Boggers, built 460 with an auto. Zoomies on the exh, one seat, no windows, just ALOTTA motor and cut boggers............built just for the mud. BTW, I stuck a CAT 527 in the back draw past the tracks. As the motor idled, it just sank lower and lower. The mud up here (clay) is epic.

Our side yard:



Actually, this is the septic field.=)

We have a tire retaining wall in the front of the house. I plant it with stuff and let it run rampant. This pic is taken from our second story:



One of my grandsons 'helping' his daddy and my son plant some lilac bushes on our property:

I am not the photographer Steinhauer is, but here's some stuff blooming in our woods:

Beautiful! Are those morning glories?

Grayma

No, they are much smaller- but they look bigger because they are close ups.

The first picture is wild geranium, also called craneflower around here.

I don't know what the other purple flower is. I'm trying to find out (I ID this wildflower every spring, and then forget it by summer).

the three leaved plant with the deep red flower in the center is trillium.

The yellow stuff is just buttercups.

Here are pictures of the first blooms from a rose bush I bought from Aldi's. It is called "The Phyllis Rose. It's for my mother, Phyllis.

What is the golf ball for?

Grayma

In our case, when we used to raise chickens, we put a golf ball in teh nest because it made the chickens think there was an egg there, and thus, it was a good place to lay eggs.

Old timers used to actually have glass eggs that went in the nest. I've even seen chickens lay eggs in a 'nest' beneath an apple tree because they thought three hard little green apples were eggs.

Love looking at Spring Photos Especially of Trees that have blooms on them.

One of my recent favorite pictures.

Steinhauer

I came here to update this thread and realized I never answered this. The golf ball probably rolled into the nest as the nest was located at 18 green on the golf course I worked for.

Here are photos of the flower bed I had been working on (a promise to my wife):



I planted these flowers from seed - they did better than the ones I bought at a nursery:




So, at least I know what to plant next year - the nursery bought flowers did not survive the recent heat wave - the ones I planted from seed thrived:
