A Bonus Day, and Ava's Haircut
Today was a bonus day. Originally supposed to be raining, but the storminess is still out west, coming tomorrow. Our favorite neighbor spent the afternoon with us and we had to take her picture. Yesterday she went to the groomer and this sleek, soft, silky Ava is the result. We aren't sure if it's our eyes, or if Ava is getting lighter with every haircut. She started out almost black when Barb adopted her almost two years ago. now she is getting close to "silver" and she is only 2-1/2 years old.
For contrast, this is Ava last Friday, also on a visit while Barb was on a short trip. It's really nice to be able to see her expressive eyes again! Although Barb did note that it's supposed to be a little cooler this weekend and maybe Ava won't be quite the warm blanket she was before her spa visit. 
Because we had some unexpected sunshine, and rain is coming (over an inch predicted) tomorrow, I had to take one more daffodil picture...I hope you are not getting too tired of them. Now that all of the yellow ones are open, the row along the driveway is really quite spectacular. Norm thinks it is because he put bulb food on the bed last spring while the green leaves were still working to store energy in the bulbs. We ran out of it and have been looking for some in vain. That's why today is such a bonus day. This afternoon I had an errand and while driving past Thies Farm, our favorite garden and produce center, I noticed they have opened for the season. The only customer, I went right in and voila--bulb food. Now Norm can apply it as soon as the blooms fade, and we can hope next year's display will at least match this one.

I will never get tired of any flower pictures! The daffodils are beautiful! None in our yard yet - the north side is still to cold. My Christmas cactus has one lone flower. I guess it decided if the spring flowers wouldn't bloom it would offer a prize. The wax plant has numerous clusters. I always marvel at how artificial they look. We didn't get the 2-4 inches of snow predicted yesterday - just rain. Yea! Don and I are doing a prom dinner for 8 kids Saturday night - should be lots of fun.
Have a great day!
