or G is for Get out of the house
or G is for a Great way to procrastinate
I mentioned in my
E post that I was working on a long, difficult document that disappeared never to be seen again. In an avoidance move to delay the start of working on it again, I decided that we needed to get out of the house to enjoy a glorious spring afternoon. The sun was shining with a light breeze and the temperatures were in the 60's. So off Ward and I went to check out a new trail we had recently heard about.
 |
| The trail went through nice open woods. |
 |
| And next to a small stream. |
 |
| The woods were pretty much still in their winter colors with occasional pops of green. |
 |
| That was in contrast to our own yard just a few miles away. In the past week, spring colors emerged everywhere around our house. |
 |
| The ornamental plum is blooming. |
 |
| As are the daffodils. |
 |
| And soon we should see some nest building in our bird boxes. |
Yes, we had a Great, Glorious, Get Away.

This makes me excited for our upcoming pops of color. Love the forsythia. And I think I'll skip the gym today and go for a hike instead! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteForsythia is beautiful, but grows a little wildly. We're having a hard time containing this hedge from the fence line and collecting invasive weeds in it like poison ivy. Unfortunately these things show up in our neighbor's yard, also. Their side of the fence is clean, so we hate to be the ones introducing these annoyances into their yard.
DeleteI hope you enjoyed a hike. There's nothing like being in the outdoors to refresh yourself.
Yes, just got back and boy did I need it! We are having a beautiful day here although it's really foggy at Lake Michigan. Woods + water=win!
DeleteWhat a beautiful forsythia! Mine's bloom is winding down now. The disappearing paper can wait! Yay for an early spring walk in the denuded woods.
ReplyDeleteThe woods I walked in were a little drier than where you took your last walk. Hope things dry out soon, Stayer.
DeleteThat is a beautiful woods you walked in, with the stream flowing by. I loved seeing all the color in your yard. Looks like spring has arrived!
ReplyDeleteI finally have some color of my own and can do more than admire the pretty things you have in your yard.
