It’s spring and that means ladybugs in the house on warm days. Zilli found one in the kitchen this morning.
Gotcha!
She rolled over and promptly lost the little bug.
She looked all over the floor but couldn’t find it.
Ladybug? What ladybug?
Not sure when it quit hitchhiking, but it may be outside now. 🙂 ~~Rhonda
Spring is here. The white crocus opened today. I noticed them when I went out the back door to try to get a picture of the skunk ambling across the back yard. Missed the skunk (I don’t mind saying I wasn’t very aggressive on that front), but found the crocus.
The daffodils near the back door are about ready to pop.
While we were gone last week, the yellow crocus popped out. We got the report from our house sitter. Prior to this year, the latest we’ve had the first bloom was Feb. 22. These opened March 5. But, at last, winter is over.

The cemetery was an interesting place to stroll. Quiet and peaceful and full of history. When we decided it was time to go, DD talked us into another half hour. She had a great time.
Signs of spring were every where. This tree was so ready to burst into leaf. It won’t need much encouragement.
Acorns were abundant and also springing into life.
On the way home, we enjoyed a pretty evening sky. I snapped a few pictures through the car window.
We had a lovely visit, but are glad to be home again. I guess I’m a bone fide homebody. No place I’d rather be than right here. ~~Rhonda
The twins posed beautifully this morning for some portraits.
Tabitha and Miranda, our first grandchildren. They are four months old tomorrow.
Three sisters and an aunt. I think Tabitha looks a lot like her aunt did as an infant.
I took one of DS’s baby outfits along and we put it on each of the girls for pictures. Not bad for a 28 year old outfit. ;-D
“Precious Baby”
Big sister, Mommy, Daddy, and the girls.
Tabitha and Daddy. DS is a stay-at-home-dad, and doing a great job with caring for the girls. Mom works days, DS works a few nights a week.
We are on our way home. Had a great visit and are looking forward to their visiting us in July! ~~Rhonda
DS#1 gave us a tour of one of his favorite cemeteries in town. The weather was beautiful, in the low 70s, partly cloudy, partly sunny, lots of nice photo ops.
“He may be *your* grandpa, but he’s *my* Daddy.”
DD#3 was impressed with the size of this tulip tree.
She enjoyed babysitting the twins, too. 🙂
In the House of Memory…stone windows.
Under the magnolia tree, lines of Confederate grave sites.
God’s finger touched him…
Beautiful monuments, urns, statues, etc., were abundant.
The twins did not like the wind in their faces.
Signs of spring were everywhere.
It was wonderful to get outside, walk in the fresh air, enjoy the sunshine, see spring bursting forth…we didn’t want to leave!

Grandpa can make them laugh.
Miranda
Tabitha’s hair goes every which way. 🙂

On the way east to visit the grandbabies, we stopped for the night and stayed with DD#1 and DD#2. It was great to see them again. This morning, DH made pancakes with chocolate chips. Made a camera shaped one for DD#2 who is in a photography program. Of course, they didn’t get a picture of it. 🙂
This afternoon, we arrived at DS#1’s house and had a great visit with his family, a delicious supper, and lots of fun getting reacquainted with the babies…twin girls.
Look at that face…Miranda’s keeping an eye on Aunty.
Tabitha and Miranda both have blue, blue eyes.
Holding hands…aren’t they sweet?
Miranda and Tabitha…almost four months old.
I’ll be posting more pictures. Stay tuned. 🙂 ~~Rhonda

I have three sweet girls. This is one of them. Photo taken by her sister, another one of them. 🙂
While we were in New Orleans the first part of January, home actually had some temps in the 70s.
We got home in time for winter. On the thirteenth…sleet. DH and DD had a ball.
Four days ago, I was glad to see the sun shining and the daffs coming up.
Now we’re shivering under sleet.
And expecting 1-3 inches more tomorrow.
That means postponing our trip to NC to visit the grandbabies. ::sigh::

A year ago last summer, DD made a Citty Club (kitty club) for Buttercup, Zak, and Zilli. The Citty Club has a dance floor and a “mirrored” ball hanging from the ceiling. The ball is made from aluminum foil.
The Citty Club comes complete with rules. 🙂
Waiting…waiting…waiting…
Here comes Zilli now…
Where’d she go?
Zilli played hard…now it’s time for a long cat nap.
