I forgot to include the photo gallery with today’s One-Liner post. For those that come for the photos, here they are.
The first lilacs are starting to bloom – you have to look close.
C-130 taking off over our yard. You tend to notice these guys.
Up squirrel-scope. This (we think) new mom is living in The Editor’s firewood rack (and has eaten a hole in the cover).
“Make sure I’m in the picture. People don’t just want to see our shadows.”
Flowering quince.
Stormy Monday.
Our neighbor’s flowers.
Forsythia and dogwood are blooming and budding.
Our neighbor’s shrubs.
Looks like we’re getting ready to play some soccer.
Last week, these bushes were bare sticks.
The place looks a little cleaner – maybe the cameras are working.
Surveillance cameras have now been installed.
Munch munch munch.
Dandelions are up (we like them).
Wild violets (the bunny likes these).

I’m glad you included it here, Dan — what a beautiful spring! The flowers are gorgeous. I was afraid my roses were as decimated as my cacti, but I’ve been rewarded with tons of huge blooms. Larger flowers than ever.
Oh, and “Up squirrel-scope” slayed me! Hugs.

That little girl is driving my wife crazy. She has torn/chewed holes in those log rack covers, but she’s so darn cute.
I’m glad your roses are blooming 🙂

I know that’s frustrating… and those covers don’t come cheap either. As much as I like squirrels, I know first hand how much damage they can do. Little devils can chew through even plumbing plastic pipes… They’re like tiny billy goats.

These guys never bothered the covers until this year. Now we’re not sure what to do. Those covers are too expensive to replace, if they’re just going to eat through them.

I’m glad you like these Gwen. The C-130s are so loud, there’s no mistaking their arrival. I need to just park mysefl out there and wait for them instead of reacting to the sound and rushing around like a chicken.

“Up squirrel scope” made me laugh out loud. Bunny is so perfectly camouflaged in his surroundings. Amazing. Maddie is right. We want to see both of you and your shadows. Your Flowering Quince look better than mine and the Lilacs will be even more gorgeous in another week. Spring certainly visits with a lot of beauty in tow, doesn’t it!

Thanks Ginger. Maddie is a ham. She struts herself into those photos whenever I try to get the shadows. The lilacs are noticeably bigger today. Spring is on the move. That’s the smallest of three quince, an offshoot of the original.

Love the bunny rabbit. The flowers are beautiful, too. BUT a bunny munching on grass trumps flowers. IMHO

It is hard to beat a bunny munching. I talk to it while I’m out with Maddie, “you’re OK bunny, we won’t bother you…” IT probably think s I’m nuts.

Honestly, I come for the words and the photos are the icing on the cake. If you didn’t include photos after a week, I’d be knocking on your door (haha.). I love the C-130 close overhead. You were lucky to get that photo. Your spring flowers, bunny, and of course Maddie, put a big smile on my face. Thank you, Dan!
