Changing Seasons at Red Oak Mountain

We were surprised with a beautiful early Spring snowfall that covered the blooming dafodils and all the other blossoms just a couple of weeks past. It was very pretty while it lasted.
Then, in total contrast to that weather, Spring arrived, and I have already begun arranging our front garden and it's now time to get the two rear gardens ready for the season. 

Welcome Spring!

There are leeks, strawberries, rosemary, dafodils, and phlox so far...
soon to have sunflowers, basil, cosmos, etc. :-)

Meet Tubby :-)

I was on my way home from work one cold and rainy morning, and this little guy darted in front of me on the highway. Me being me of course, I pulled over and went to make sure he was ok. He was a bit freaked out, not hurt at all thank goodness. He had a collar, but we were out in the middle of nowhere on a busy road so I scooped him up and took him home to call his folks. 
No one answered. 
Oh well, he was so cute and sweet, I didn't mind him hanging out with me all day. In fact, he pretty much just stayed on our couch for four hours. I eventually got a hold of his people later that evening and took him home. He was so cute!
