It's been a very cold spring and the bluebirds are just now building a nest. This picture was taken yesterday from my office window. I have a new camera now (Canon Sureshot DSC-H3) and I am having so much fun with it.

Also this Spring finds the girls and me with a new family member, Rylee. Rylee is a 5 month old black lab/german shepard -- what percent of what is unknown, but she looks like a lab.
Here is Rylee's adoption ad: This sweet loving dog is just waiting to meet you. Rylee is mostly lab but part German Shephard. She is 4 months old, her birthday is 1/1/08. We have had her since she was 6 weeks old, but since we travel frequently we have found it's too hard on Rylee to be left alone or to travel that much. We want what's best for her and we think she deserves a family that is home more often. Rylee has been around children and other dogs all her life. She loves to be outside and around other people. She is housebroke and as long as she has some toys she doesn't chew. We have found Rylee to be extremely smart and easy to train. She is very affectionate...but doesn't really care for the vaccum! Rylee would make any family the perfect puppy.
