USE YOUR IMAGINATION

Okay, so this picture just looks black, right??? Well if you look closer and use your imagination, you can see a racoon eating the grain I put out today for the pheasants. It was 1:00 am and I didn't use a flash. I thought the moon and reflective light from the snow would help but as you can see, not much. This is the first time I have seen a racoon, it was kind of cool.

Tulips and Lilies NOW !!!

Here is the flower bed on the east side of my house. Doesn't look like much huh?
But with a closer look, yes that's right, tulips coming up yes today February 11. Mom always told me that they come up in February but I am always excited to see them. Mother Nature always knows when they should come up. UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!



Here is a closeup of some Lilies, I don't understand how they can come up when it is so cold. They are so fragile, yet can stand temperatures well below freezing.

Then something scared them and they flew away.

This is an Amarillas, I have had it for about 3 years, it has been in the basement in a paper sack all winter. I brought it upstairs on January 31, watered it and it began to grow again. I hope to have blossoms around Easter.
