IT REALLY IS SPRING! (I THINK!)
My sunporch is a great place for growing my tomatoes, petunias, etc.



     I put my baby tomatoes in styrofoam cups; the cups don't leak & fit on the window-sills.  The nursery petunias & violas each have their own cup.  Each fall, I bring many of my hanging baskets of flowers inside.  They bloom quite nicely all winter inside ... seem to know when it's spring ... start blooming even more.
     JUST AS I KNEW I WOULD ... my back felt so much better after my injection that I overdid it, & was in misery all day.  But, it was so great to have those cupla days of feeling really ambitious!   THANK GOD FOR RAMEN NOODLES ... a comfort food.  I usually don't eat much starches (don't even buy bread) ... but, those noodles slide down easy when I am  up in the middle of the night, going to take some aspirins. 



   One of my favorite pix ... Red-White-& Blue ... nature ... my flowers ... my View From My Chair.  LAST SUMMER!
    Here's another look back to last year ... an interesting entry ... theme:

       MY BIRDFEEDER ... I finally fixed it ... look at one of my visitors.

Also, see my new windchimes from the Family Dollar.

The whole bird-feeder gently rotates with the breeze.  I made a swivel post so I can rotate it in over the deck to fill it.


     I FEEL KINDA FOOLISH WHEN I SIT HERE BY MYSELF ... AND ... HAVE A HO-HO-HO ATTACK ...

HERE'S A SPRING-TIME POEM THAT I WROTE SEVERAL YEARS AGO ...

 THE SMILE OF SPRING 

The Sun in Spring is a smile
That warms the heart & soul.
It's a PROMISE: in a short while,
We'll not fear Winter's threats!

GREENgrass & buds feed nature's pets.
GREEN tips of   tulips, daffodils, and more.
GREEN thumb: twitches and frets.
GREEN: the Victor's colors; Winter is defeated!

GOLDEN Sunshine wraps us like a warm shawl.
Winter's breath still can chill!
GOLDEN Sunshine washes the air-cleanses all.
Breathe deeply of the new freshness.

April Showers bring us flowers in May.
Winter is lovely, but, spring is a joy!
The Nature that was asleep tumbles out to play.
Welcome - SPRING - God's Promise come true!

   These turkeys are going to challenge the deer for the corn.

     The turkeys turned chicken when the deer charged.
