at least it is spring...

INSIDE!My planter of spring bulbs is finally blooming and what a welcome sight it is. We returned on Saturday night from another spring trip (this time on business) and I was so happy to see the dutch iris blooming because outside today it looks like this...
and this.
With all our snow this winter we took a short drive to see if there was any flooding in the area and Hershey was more than happy to go along.
Just down the road the creek is overflowing - it was across the road last Wednesday when we left but today it has receded a bit.
Hershey thinks that is a lot of water considering there is so much snow left to melt...
when driving down our road still looks like this!
I have one more Texas blog post prepared and was going to do a few more on the great sites we visited but my computer died. I hadn't had time to back up any of my trip photos so I am hoping the techs will be able to recover my files...wish them luck!

Blech! I don't think the snow is ever going away. I love the dog out the window photos.
And how lucky that you get to see such beautiful blooms without going all the way downtown to the flower show! Enjoy!

My goodness, isn't time for the snow to get on down the road? Your Irises are so pretty, my Dutch Irises are blooming (outside).

We had rain, sleet and snow most of Sunday, but it didn't stick! Hurry up Spring, I am so tired of the cold. The iris are beautiful...so is Hershey!

You have worse than me on weather right now, but it's nice you have some blooms to look at for a while.
