It is Here

Dennis and I took a spring fling today.  Today we took a road trip to Mankato.  Great Clips needed to be visited and so did the Nails Group for pedicures.  Those two items made me feel energized for spring.  Koi fish food was down to a few morsels for the season. Though they haven’t been put in the pond yet, it’s best to be prepared.  They haven’t eaten since mid-November.  Hibernating is soon coming to an end.  Pet Expo could have saved having carts out.  There was hardly any cart rolling space in the store.  The bird seed was everywhere.

As we drove there were bikers, walkers, joggers, and cycles.  By sheer willpower the cool temps were ignored.  I still wore my bright yellow winter coat, stocking cap and mittens when I walked.  The breeze had a bite to it.

Dennis is down to his last two feedings for the deer.  Tonight and tomorrow night, and then they are on their own.  The area behind the water treatment plant has just as much lush green grass as our yard is showing for them to graze on.  We gave them a bit a boost during the worst of winter.  It was a lot of fun to see them up close and in person.  Watching them at seven feet away as I stood in the patio porch and they were on the patio, it was priceless.  We are now on to watching the squirrels as they try and find the nuts that they buried last fall.

Always a lot of activity on Stauffer Avenue.
