More Tulips

In my last blog (4/26), I said I was concerned that our trip to Brazil wouldn't allow us to see our tulips at their best. When we pulled in the driveway Friday from our trip, I found I was wrong. We may have missed the true high point, but these pics show there's still lots of color. Also, see MK's blog for Brazil trip photos and updates. These are a bit fuzzy, but one can see the colors.

Tulips Everywhere

I decided to take these before we left for Brazil on Tuesday. By the time we get back, tulips will be all but spent - terrible timing on our part!

Finally -- Spring

We think spring is here, just in time for us to leave for Brazil on the 28th. Also see MK's blog for additional pics.

AH! SPRING IS HERE!

March 30 - Springtime in the mountains.

A New Cat

Melissa was missing Sput so badly that she began searching for another cat which would be her very own. If you've read her blog, you'll see the travails she went through - but he's here now.

See her blog at mmkoerner.blogspot.com// for, as Paul Harvey said, "the rest of the story," more pics and a short video.

Here's a representative picture of (drumroll here, please) -- Oscar ! At least we think that will be his name.

A GREAT STORY

Let It Snow!

Though we had about a week and a half without any new snow, a good one hit us Sunday evening and Monday morning - about a foot. I sure could have used some help shoveling it. Kayla, Luke, Jordan and Olivia, where were you when I needed you??
