Love the composition of your photo, summer.

Jim, those are outside, right? How are they surviving the chilly nights?

Just some butterflies I painted.

Last night it got down to 54. No problem. Only time to worry a bit if it gets below 28 for several hours. They are under the eaves, so there is a bit of protection. The taller, better protected ones are on the right.

I am so thankful that we did not get much in the way of snow and we had so much rain, the snow is already gone. We broke a record from 1884 for the amount of rainfall on February 12.

Since there is nothing but small lakes in my yard, just a picture of that cute girl, Carmelita, to brighten your day. :)

Today

Monday

Just finished this 1000 piece puzzle.

kittywhiskers, I have done that one. Unfortunately before it was done, I had gone out and bought Oreos, and a couple of my old favorites, Milano cookies. Hadn't had either in the house in years.

Despite the dire predictions of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow and icy slush it all turned out to be a big nothing. The snow barely covered the grass and the rain washed it away before 10 am.

Today is a day in the 60's, tomorrow, the 70's and then on Friday, a whopping 41 for a high. It's been a temperature roller coaster here.

snapped this one on Sunday the 2nd of Feb, my last bike ride, before...

Spring is coming. Big sissy's daffodils are blooming, my Japanese quince is blooming, the birds are singing... This is today.

More Maine...

Great photos today. Sorry to have missed participating; internet was out all day due to storm activity. I'll be able to post tomorrow provided the internet stays up. :-)
