Driving to the Dentist on a Dreary Day

Temperatures warmed yesterday. The warmth didn't come from a bright happy sun. Instead it came in the form of gray clouds that loomed low and threatened rain all day. Dreary! But snow melted and all but disappeared which brought relief to many folks, including homegrown countrygirls.

I had an appointment at the dentist. Since it's been so long since I've seen the actual earth under all that snow I grabbed my camera and snapped some pictures from my car window while I drove to the dentist. It's never been so good to see dirt and grass (and mud)! I'll share the view with you...









The warm spring air must have done something to me. (Or maybe it was the Novocaine?) But when I got home I popped a few lettuce and spinach seeds into the ground. Hey, you never know... they could grow!

Hi Mararia! I had to look up albahaca... and now I know what it is... basil! I am jealous that you can plant herbs already! The warm up here was nice while it lasted... now I'm covered in ice again!
