Drought Free!


See the snow under the little Cardinal's feet?  Gone, mostly gone!!   


The good news is that today, according to our local weather station, all of mid-Missouri is drought free for the first time since May 2012!!
Isn't that wonderful news?  And, the Cardinal has some sunshine on his face today.  We love seeing that

Until next time...

  3. See....all that snow WAS good for SOMETHING! Good for all of you...now, the trickle down theory....maybe some of your melting snow will trickle down in the rivers and streams to us! Think?

    I always love cardinals. You were able to get great shots!

    Weather here is promising too. It can't stay cold much longer.

    Your question in my blog comments... Yes, Gabe has been getting little hair trims, now and then.

    The curls are mostly gone now. But I'm still happy. Because his hair isn't hanging in his eyes. And he looks "like a boy."

    And I have the pics I took of him, with the "golden curls," to remember by. :-))))))
