Low of 32 degrees

Ranger is doing what we all seem to be doing this last week...looking for the sunshine. Today we are experiencing a high of 43, with low of 32. Hibernative and sluggish seem to pair well when you have winter in late May. And if you don't have time to hibernate, or be sluggish, grumpy seems to work just fine as well.



Here are a couple of pictures that at least make me think of Spring. This was a beautiful little jam jar full of assorted tulips...



This is my birthday bouquet, taken with my birthday camera. A Cannon Powershot SL90.
It makes the dyed hothouse grocery store daisies sing.
