Inspiration

My ideas for blog posts usually come about just by writing about the things we are doing here at Crossed Sabers. Life here is generally busy, so inspiration is all around me.

This past week was unusual, since it was fairly quiet at the ranch with nothing much going on. No projects. Nothing interesting happened.  No 'blog fodder' to be found.  I fell asleep last night while wracking my poor ol' brain for a good idea.

When I got up this morning, inspiration was falling from the sky. 

Here's some "inspiration". 

And over here, too.

"Inspiration" everywhere.  Up over my boots in some places!

It's April 14. Most of the country is enjoying spring weather with flowers blooming and leaves coming out on the trees.

                           

                    Here are my spring flowers.

      There are pansies under all that snow. Poor things!

In Washington, D.C., the cherry blossoms are in full swing.

                                

Here....not so much.

And the vegetable garden...

There is kale, lettuce and spinach sprouting inside the hoop house. Don't worry. It's fine in there.

                         

Now don't go feeling too sorry for us. We've been under an extreme drought for the last few years, so any moisture at all, even this much of it, is a welcome sight.

This however, is not so welcome a sight. Pain in the butt is more like it.  <Sigh> Hate cleaning off the truck!

Happy Spring, y'all!
