IZZY!

Izzy is a crack up... I took so many photos, so few came out, she is always moving... Linda and I couldn't believe the energy she was expunging... This was her first time playing in the river for any real amount of time... She loved it, a water hound for sure... We were on our walk for more than two hours, of course we were not walking the whole time... stopped here and there to sit and enjoy our beautiful Spring day... During this time we came upon a camper and one car passed us, I was sure I would have to put on her leash... I was so proud of her, a whistle (as I have stated before) was all it took for her to get back at my side... I will have to take her on walks by the river more often now that the weather is warmer...She drove poor Britt (Linda's very old dog) nuts... Izzy is so lucky Britt didn't bite her a time or two...
Got two shots of an Eagle, they didn't turn out well still I put them up... I don't know what this Eagle is thinking, it took over an Osprey nest, the nest itself is not big enough... I wonder what the Osprey will do when it comes back to see it's nest taken over by it's enemy...
Got a shot of a pair of Mallards also...Can't wait for their babies to hatch...I always love watching them play...
The Blackfoot is always beautiful...
On our walk we stumbled upon this... We went back later with the car to pick it up... I will put it in one of the beds after I have dried it out a little more in the sun... I know, I am a strange cookie indeed, but that's OK with me...It will look so good with taller plants growing around it... May-be I will put it with the Columbines...
On the way home I stopped at the well house to water the seedlings... It is time to transplant more seedlings as more have their first set of true leaves...I will call Dee later on this afternoon to arrange a play date...Looking over our seedlings,I am reminded that one should always plant at least 1/2 more seeds than they will need as germination is never 100 percent...

Stella is feeling alive... More bulbs seem to be emerging daily...Finches and Robins are now a daily sight along with the other song-birds...There is a frisky little squirrel that I hope finds it's way back to the woods...

Only 71 more days until summer...Did you know that this months Moon is called the Full Pink Moon? It got it's name because wild ground phlox is usually in bloom around this time...

Remember to give out those Hugs... One can NEVER get enough hugs...

Until next time
Nothing but love Lina
