signs of spring

hi every bloggie!

You know the saying, March comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb. Well this year, March has been all roars. Between rain drops and receding waters, I've seen signs of spring along the assabet river- my usual stomping grounds.

The plant life and vegetation is popping up. I don't know the name of this delightful plant but I did water it some more.

Mom was super excited although you can't really see it. That's woodie the woodpecker! We hear him every day but finally caught him with our own eyes!

Mr. Beaver commissioned and donated his own sculptures to the river front. Usually the water level doesn't even hit this tree. That's' how much rain we've had.

He is quite the craftsman but doesn't pick up after himself. Look at all the woodchips left behind.

Oh we've seen painted turtles too! They love to sun tan! Hold on fella don't jump in until we snap the foto! Whew! Just in time!


Since the foliage hasn't grown in it, I get to stick my snooter into large holes or dens that are usally covered up quite well. Yoohooo anybody home? Not sure who lives there but I'll check again later.

Oops that's not a den! I've never got my snooter close to that hole either. Tula please! Still working on that greeting in graduate school. Well I can practice at least right? For your sake, just be glad it's not a scratch and sniff post.

I guess with all those signs, spring must be coming- right?

PS I've only heard frog chirping love songs in my early morning walkies but no sightings just yet. Trust me, you will be the first to know!

Camera Critters- Spring Fevah = Trouble

From hey-spring fevah 3-6-09
Hi there! I have great news. It was 54 degrees yesterday.  So I went to good dog 101 u class and then headed out to the park. Mr. Bizerko must be released after an hour of good behavior. My mom knows or she pays the price. Besides it was finally feeling like spring. We headed to a place we passed by many times but never stopped.  YEAH! Today was the day!

We arrived.  I scanned and held my sniffer out the window. HMMM new smells, big field, even a dog station! It was meant to be.  My mom changed her shoes and then did the unthinkable! She closed the car door and yep LOCKED THE KEYS INSIDE.  I WAS INSIDE.  

She kept trying to talk to me... I was P.O.ed.  Wait I'm gonna say it. Pissed off. I can't even look at her.  

So thankfully Fun Aunt Dee was home.  She was called to save the day.  She thinks the warm weather not only affected me but my mom has lost her mind too.  Is it that hard to remember your car keys?  Look my mom is happy that I was saved and released.  I just want to get to the field.

Now it's time for Fun! Of course I ran into a border collie mix and lab/sharpei/beagle mix. Hi guys! My name is Norwood.

And... there off.  Look at my brilliant speed.  I can run with the best of them.  Mr. Bizerko out -witness it for yourself.

Then I said hi to their mom.  Keisha the border collie mix was not happy with my greeting style. She kept blocking me and yapping instructions at me.  So bossy.

Well all's well that ends well.  My spring fevah episode ended in an afternoon nap hiatus.  My mom's brain lapse is a whole different story.
