Today we had ducks in our yard. It was in the 30s, isn't that too cold for ducks? Anyway, it was cool. Until Snoopy saw them and chased them away.

Snoopy likes to play with this poor, pathetic looking soccer ball. I don't know where it came from. Neither of my kids play soccer. I noticed when I pulled it out of the container in the garage, there's a new one there, too. Huh? Where are these soccer balls coming from?

I just got this great book about photography, so I've been experimenting with ways to avoid using the flash on my camera. Unfortunately, I couldn't get Snoopy to move out of the sun, so here he is, sun worshiping. No flash, anyway.

The last little bit of snow from our April snowstorm. Notice we have that weird sideways icicle again. I'm sure it's because of our leaky gutters. Looks cool, though.

One of the things I really like about my house is the front door. It has character. Welcome to our house.

Under the old leaves and dead foliage my peonies are coming up. I had to carefully cover them back up after I took this picture because it's supposed to snow tomorrow. 1-4 inches. Yikes.

Ok, I'm going to keep working on this until I get it right. Not that I'm stubborn or anything. These are buds on my forsythia bush with raindrops on them. Because it's been raining for three days. On the upside, the grass is turning green.
