With apologies to Angela

Apparently, my friend Angela has become "tired" of seeing the mini-slav whenever she visits this site. Granted, he's been up for a month, so it really is time for me to post. I had planned to post earlier, but I couldn't find the cord that attaches my digital camera to my computer. It turned up tonight -- in with all the cords for Nate's PlayStation 3. So now I have pictures to post!

These pictures were taken this past weekend, on April 19th. It was a beautiful day -- the temperature was above 70 degrees, and all was well in my backyard. See, the seedum is beginning to grow! And yes, they do look more like brussels sprouts at this stage of their development.

In our front yard, however, there was still SNOW! On APRIL 19th! See, it's still a couple of feet deep in spots.

And here's a HORRIBLE picture of me in front of the house. Once the frost leaves, we'll get lots of pretty flowers for the front, so it won't look that awful for long. I will look dorky forever.

The dogs were all excited about playing around in the yard. They were chasing each other all over the place. Well, actually, Leo chased Roscoe, and Roscoe chased his ball.

Isn't Leo handsome? Love that little goofy face!

And here's a shot of Roscoe doing what he loves the most: playing with his ball. It's blurry, but you can see the action in his ears and tail.

And here's a look at Portland, from the top floor of the garage where I park everyday. Not a bad view of the harbor!

All for now. It's after 11:00, and I really need my beauty sleep! Love to all of you...
