My woodcocks came back this week; freaked out when I heard them displaying at 6:40am and again at 7pm that evening. I also have had red-winged and rusty blackbirds, killdeer, and grackles, so I know spring is on her way.<BR/><BR/>More snow predicted for this week.

And my dandelions are also shooting up, between an inch and two inches tall. They did that last year too around this time. <BR/><BR/>Come on, spring! I sleep better when I can hear the peepers and the toads and green frogs.dguzmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-47963077800234616572008-02-26T10:37:00.000-05:002008-02-26T10:37:00.000-05:00Chet wrasslin' that enormous stick puts me in mind of our Dobe, for whom we would throw skipping stones into the bay. She would chase them, plunge her head down and emerge with enormous beach rocks that she would triumphantly deposit at our feet to be tossed back again. We'd throw another skipping stone, and it would start all over gain. It's a wonder the poor thing had any teeth left.littleorangeguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12654738679277701610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-10334888891833196692008-02-26T06:44:00.000-05:002008-02-26T06:44:00.000-05:00I love reading about your walks with Chet.

One of our dogs is too old to take walks, and I miss his slightly off-kilter trot.<BR/><BR/>We don't hear the peent of woodcocks until March, you lucky dog. I actually sleep better when I hear them.<BR/><BR/>Thank you in advance for putting together some posts- sounds like a lot of us will appreciate it. Have a safe and happy journey, Julie.Birdie90http://www.blogger.com/profile/09528434705829785195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-65152230248365968252008-02-25T22:59:00.000-05:002008-02-25T22:59:00.000-05:00I was a little worried as I initially scrolled through your post. It sure looked like your Chet Baker was tangling with an early snake.<BR/><BR/>No kidding? Peenting in February. Man. I've gotta move south.<BR/><BR/>Hope your 2 week hiatus is a fulfilling voyage - in a nice place - in good company.

You put me on the floor laughing with this stuff. Your mind works in wondrous ways.<BR/><BR/>And what in the heck is Ai Servio? I'd like to have Shila as a friend. I don't even know where my instruction booklet is.<BR/><BR/>Don't fret too much about your posts. Your archives can fix us right up when we miss you.Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-820288667585497742008-02-25T20:21:00.000-05:002008-02-25T20:21:00.000-05:00My life is a bassomatic blender too right now -- I hear ya! Love the scat. Love the hopeful acorn. Love Chetty running around with a stick! <BR/><BR/>And, we dog owners do have thick luxurious hair and make our own clothes. You forgot grow all our own food. And, knit with wool from our backyard alpacas. We rock.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I agree about licking the mayo off your lens -- pictures turn out WAY better with less mayo.Liza Lee Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776482696203224923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-38788934964895673082008-02-25T19:48:00.000-05:002008-02-25T19:48:00.000-05:00A whole new name for Science Chimp--Old Faithful?
