Gather ye dandelions while ye may

Thanks, Doc Hinkle!
Enjoying our Pennsylvania Dutch heritage on Easter Saturday. (Via DocHinkles.com). And enjoying egg salad for several lunches thereafter.
The new tree dog
Jammer, with a hint of redbud blossom starting to open.
Have you noticed my new wellies?
Happy to be here
Our new dog Jammer arrived home from the SPCA last week. Roxie is reserving judgment.
Magnolias
The blooms are only at their best for a few days. Fortunately this year, a rainfall and a couple of overnight freezes waited until after they were finished.
Admiring the daffodils
I was surprised the squirrel would be so bold as to stand still there while I got closer with the camera. Since we lost Cadbury they’ve had no worries, as Roxie generally can’t be bothered to chase them. But yesterday, Jammer the new dog arrived, so perhaps they’ll learn to be a bit more cautious.
Finished!
I’ve finished splitting the big white oak behind the blue bench garden. We’d had to have it cut down and cut up by Mitchell’s Tree Service. Thank you, Denny, for lending me your splitter! Now I’ll spend the next few weeks wheel-barrowing it all to the wood pile in the back.
