In Bloom

Trees are budding!

Daffodils are up


Check out Mr. Bumblebee. I came back to try to get a better pic, but he'd flown off.

This tulip's not open yet...but doesn't it look like there's an evil little thing in there with glowing eyes?? Cree-py.

Linda said...

Thank you, S.
WHAT??? That can't BEEEE!

Summer said...

It comes on at 12:30 tonite

Linda said...

Oh jeez. I wonder if you can get it on line. I bet you could...if you care, that is!

Nestor said...

Linda,

You don't understand. Nothing gets in the way of the Spurs in San Antonio during playoff time.

If Jesus were to return during a Spurs playoff game, most San Antonians would probably say: "I'll catch ya next time Jesus, Spurs are on."

Linda said...

Lol! Ok, I get it!

Linda said...

We're at 5 to 5 in our 4th game of our series. Nail biter.

RecknHavic said...

The Wings will win, I feel it. But whata I know.

One thing I do know tho, playn golf in gale force wind SUCKS! Nice golf course btw. The back 9 is pretty much a links course, which is cool.

Stupid sur, comin on at 12 freakin 30. And no, this episode not available yet on-line.

See, we care.

Linda said...

Well I haven't seen it yet cuz I'm watchin the game, but I will in a bit. D's out watchin it w/ friends. I like watchin it after the boys are tucked in anyway..and no adverts! Hmmm...I wonder when you can get in on CBS.com.

Windy golf is a tough deal.

Linda said...

Btw..somebody better comment on how I didn't run for my life when that bumblebee got in my picture. I risked my life for that picture.

Linda said...

Good call, Reck! Man, that was exciting!!

Linda said...

Just finished Surv. It was really good!

Nestor said...

Congrats on the Wings. Tomorrow it's the Rangers.

Linda said...

Well, ya know I'm rootin for the Rangers...to a point.

RecknHavic said...

Wat to go Wings! Man, sorry i missed it.

I'da watched it...

Good surv, eh? Don't know if I'll be able to stay awake. Maybe, I did take me a little nap.

Go Rangers!

The hockey team...

Linda said...

I wouldn't worry about stayin up for Surv. when you can tape it. I didn't keep score knowing ya'll weren't able to watch it.

The Wings game, however, was an awesome game. High scoring and exciting up till the end. Our RW flag is a flyin!!

RecknHavic said...

Nice pics, btw. I especially like the "creepy" one.

Yes, your bravery around flyn insects is commendable.

RecknHavic said...

That..was...AWESOME!
Can't wait till the next surv to see how Coach reacts.

Dragon Slayer just lost his right arm.

Linda said...

It was great, wasn't it? I had Tyson in both drafts, but I STILL liked it!

Nestor said...

So the Lions get Matt Stafford and pay him $41 million guaranteed. This insanity in the NFL needs to stop. If I was faced with pay an unproven athlete that much money, I'd trade the pick and use the cost savings on someone else. Get 2-3 players for that money, and at least 1-2 that have proven themselves.

That's what I'd do, but what's the feeling in Detroit about it?

Linda said...

Hmmm. Well I think people for the most part are just crossing their fingers that it'll help. We're goin out tonight, tho, and I'm sure I'll hear more.

Nestor said...

Didja hear anything last night? It seems like the talking heads aren't really feeling it. Maybe he'll be alright, but I don't know. On the bright side, I feel pretty good about the Giants' picks. Not ecstatic, but pretty good. But I guess if the Lions win a few next year, it'll be better. Maybe this year they'll show significant improvement. I hope so for you guys.

Linda said...

I think the general consensus was that the guys they drafted are fine, but we have needs in other areas that are more dire. Like a lot of people were bemoaning about getting a tight end, when we really need help with defense. That type of thing. Oh and getting a guy from the MAC (Western MI of all places...go Broncos!) really irked D.

Ooh, Rangers goin into game 7, eh?

Nestor said...

Game 7. They need to suit up Messier and Gretzky again.

Nestor said...

I saw that they got a guy from W Mi. Was it a sentimental pick?

Linda said...

Well it sounds like they were trying to get the 'best' in a position...sort of regardless of what that position is, if you know what I mean. And this WMU guy played for a smaller school, so there's some gripin about that, tho he's supposed to be the best safety.

All I know is that the draft itself is painful to watch and/or listen to. I thought about impaling myself just to check to see if my synapses were still firing.

Nestor said...

Oooh. You actually watched it? I like to just check in on the ticker at ESPN.com every so often. I couldn't possibly watch it. Maybe the first round...maybe. I thought that only Jets fans and NFL and NCAA analysts watched the whole thing.

Linda said...

Well I didn't sit there with a bowl of popcorn, but D had it on tv., and when in the car, on the radio. At the party, their satellite reception was out (we got nailed w/ thunderstorms last night), so they had it on the computer.
Guess they're a freaky lot.

RecknHavic said...

If I were a Lions fan I'd be watchin the draft too, cause in a 5 or 6 yrs it's really gonna pan out for em.

Actually, I watch so little pro football anymore that I have no idea what I'm talkin about.

RecknHavic said...

Made it back just in time for the Rockets tip-off. What a gm! We pulled it out by 1. First gm 4 win in a series since Dream was playn.

Go Rockets!!

Hope yall all hada good weekend. We survived driven through flood waters fri nite, as we arrived late after a stop over at me grandmas. Haven't seen rain like that in a loooong time. Had a few touch & go moments.

Good to be home!

Nestor said...

I'm glad you made it back safe and sound. I don't think we had the rain you're talking about though. We've had drizzle on and off for the past few days, but nothing to blog about...until now.

RecknHavic said...

Looks like there's some serious rain headed yalls way later this mornin Nest. We had an 80% chance last nite and early this mornin; which means it'll rain north of us.

Nestor said...

Rush pointed this out. Obama goes to Mexico City and then there's this outbreak of Swine Flu and a 6.0 earthquake. Does the podium there still smell like brimstone?

Linda said...

That's so funny. I just sent a friend an email saying that Obama brought back the Swine flu to distract us from all the gov't spending!
Of course I was kidding...not sure about Rush.

RecknHavic said...

Swine flu...sounds like somethin Detective Clouseau would say.

Nestor said...

So far as I know, we haven't had any swine flu patients at our hospital. We HAVE had a rash of rattlesnake bite though.

Nestor said...

Oh, and Reck accurately predicted the monsoon that we got this afternoon.

RecknHavic said...

I am alittle worried about the swine flu. Yesterday, when we got us some rain, I had this uncontrollable urge to wallow in the mud.

Linda said...

I heard that's the first symptom!

I came close to pulling a you and D yesterday. I was trying to get these tall weeds out of the back..I didn't predict their root system to be so strong, so I had to reeeaally pull. Few hours later, I bent over to pick somethin up and..doh! Man, somethin in the back was seizing up on me. Freaked me out a little. I refuse to go through that whole back thing. I can feel it this morn but nothing bad.

RecknHavic said...

Welcome to our world.

Ibuprofen...lots and lots a ibuprofen.

Linda said...

I don't wanna be in your world. I'm flourishing in my own little one.

Well, I just cleaned the tub, and I didn't keel over, so I think it's ok.

Rainy rainy day..

RecknHavic said...

Went to the range...hittn the driver fairly straight, developin a short gm, irons are solid; seniors tour here I come!

..in 5 yrs or so..

Linda said...

I've always wanted to go to a golf tournament to watch.

If you get in, can I come and yell out somethin when you're about to tee off? That would be fun.
