Dead Flowers

Random 3:

1.  After the long winters here, we are so color starved that it is a jubilant occasion once the wildflowers start to present themselves and the first signs of life are HERE:

Glacier Lilies on Woods Walk trail

Mount Crested Butte

2.  We were taking care of this little chihuahua named Bean for about 3 weeks, who is in love with our dog Natty.  His admiration for her sort of reminds me of Pepe Le Pew...


Bean will share the bean bag with NO ONE, but "mon cherie"
3.  Shamus and his friend Brian brew their own beer.  As the newest addition to this process, they decided to try to grow their own hops.  So, what started out as this:

Baby hops
Has now turned into this in just a month and a half:
A HUGE vine that has twine strung back and forth across the ceiling


Song of the day - Townes Van Zandt ~ Dead Flowers

Beauty...

How pretty.
Well, you know Bay Area winters... hmm... we seem to have color all the time, still, I have to say that this spring has been unusually winter-like. Lots of rains and quite cold. Not that I am missing our usual heat waves this time of year. I guess I just like to complain about the weather.

Sheesh I think everyone's off to a cool start this year.
I just adore that pic of Pepe and his 'Cherie'! Too cute!
