Bright and cheerful.

Seeing this nasturtium flower made for a bright and cheerful start to my day.

Watches the world pass by.

Lucy watches the world pass by. We raise the window curtain so she can do this, which reduces the possibility the will become bored. A bored dog can be a mischievous dog.

Displayed her handiwork.

Lucy displayed her handiwork (pawiwork?) after unravelling a ball of yarn. Faye was less than appreciative.

Cruise away.

A family of Mute Swans cruise away from me.

A good stamp.

Baltimore Orioles are a late spring arrival. Seeing this one was a good stamp on spring finally being here. Photo shot through the kitchen window which has a screen, therefore the slightly out of focus image.

It is at a hummingbird feeder; I have learned over the past several years that orioles prefer them to the oriole feeders I have trialed; the hummingbird feeders are less tippy and unsteady.

Blustery day.

Lucy sits pretty . . .

. . . if a little akimbo.

Cheerful event.

The first sighting this year of a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, on a not-bad day for March, was a cheerful event.

Cheerful . . . colour.

During an exceptionally lengthy spell of chilly, cloudy, drizzly March-like weather in early May, continuing to feed the birds provides a welcome and cheerful spot of physical, emotional, psychological colour.

First cutting.

First cutting of asparagus, which actually occurred over a week ago. Second cutting happened today.
