First Day of Spring

I'm posting super early because of my Blogger problem, which is that it takes a million tries to get one photo up--I keep getting a connection timed out message. Maybe it's just too busy at the time I try to post in the evening. These went up pretty fast.

I love this Peep's crooked eyes (and little "mole" between his eyes.)
Why I'm glad I got the point and shoot to keep in my pocket. Some deer in the neighbor's yard yesterday. Baxter didn't even bother them--because he's too short to see over the snowbank he didn't even notice them.
And this is what the first day of spring in Maine is like. It was 22 degrees today and wicked windy. This is a photo of my cheek after my walk today. Color is SOOC, I just cropped it. There was no way I was showing you the photo of my whole face. And I promise this is my face cheek, not my butt cheek. :-D My butt cheek isn't hairy like this (see the strands of hair on the lower right), although it probably was this red after my cold walk.

    That's red, looks like my skin at times:)

    Oh, that little peep is so full of character. Too bad it'll loose it's head pretty soon (if not already.)

    HAHAHAHA...What a total riot. All I can think of now is the Austin Powers movie. (Yeah, I know, I am SO classy).

    It was so freezing yesturday. We went to Freeport and I swear I spent more money JUST because I went into every store to get warm.

    Ouch! That is one wind-blasted, cold cheek. Hope spring gets there soon. Love the Peep--the Uneven-eyed Peep, which are somewhat rare. Love the deer too--glad you had that P&S.
