The first (very welcome) dandelion in our yard this year
Today was cloudy and grey, but I did get outside and see enough to assure myself that spring really will come again this year. 🙂

Beautiful little henbit flowers
The dogs are groomed, the trailer bearings have been checked, and I’m packing for the trip now. Finally! It has been WAY too long since we’ve gotten out!
I took photos of the beautiful, edible little spring yard weeds today. Didn’t have time to do anything with them… maybe tomorrow.
Dandelions and chickweed
The other day I had peeled several oranges. I have used the peel in cooking before, in addition to grating the zest. I wondered if they would make a decent tea. So I left the peels on the counter a couple of days until they were brittle and dry, then ran them through the blender. Then I ran a few cloves through the coffee grinder and stirred them in.
I LOVED the tea. Ron hated it! Anyway, I’m thrilled to have a nice supply on hand.

I’m not sure what the little violet-like flower is. We have several different kinds of violets here including wood violet and birdsfoot violet. It might be a wild escape from when i grew tri-color violas one year.
More henbit and chickweed
A fuzzy picture of Sunny, freshly groomed. He hates to have his picture taken!
Sheba, clean, fluffy and good smelling!
