Here are some pix from my latest walk along the parkway. I really love spring and spring is happening here. Finally.

The great blue heron was nice enough to hold still for a mini-photo-shoot just yards away from me. Isn't he handsome!
I'm sentimental about violets, too. They were one of my grandmother's favorite flowers and make me think of her.
More May apples. These are a bit further along. I have a tiny colony in our yard, which has grown to about 14 umbrellas.
Last night we had the grandkids for the very first time overnight. Ella is rather camera shy, but was okay with me taking a picture of her crown. Have you ever played the hide-your-body-behind someone or something game when the camera is pointing at you? I have.
The only shot I was allowed of her making a pasta necklace. Rigatoni (whole wheat, of course) on shiny red ribbon.
Glad to report that we had a fun evening. Stories, laughter, dinner, games, and bedtime. They fell right asleep at the appointed time and slept later than we'd been led to believe (until just about 7 am). I'd forgotten the fun times of blanket pajama clad kids, short order breakfasts, and hurrying to get dressed before church.
I'm still fairly sluggish after my surgery, but I am determined to get in my daily walk and at least 2 other worthy tasks each day. Guess what? I found that my discharge instructions say "no housework." No can do, but I'm taking the restriction on lifting more than 5 lbs fairly seriously and that cuts things down to a pretty reasonable level.
Do you hide behind things when the camera's pointing at you?
