midday walks

One of the lovely features of being part-time this year is that I can take midday walks with Rose. We walked by some beautiful miniature irises that are blooming along with the crocuses and snow drops. I saw them yesterday and had to return to get a photo.
Also, the utility company has just pruned the trees around the power lines. With the sap running as strong as it is, there are many trees on the street dripping their springs' blood away.

I went to Tags Hardware today to get an outside thermometer having been fooled by good looking days only to find they were very chilly once outside.
