Spring Surprises

With the warm and wet weather we've been having I thought I would head up into the Creepy Woods with Eddy to see if we could spot any mushrooms so I could let my friends know they can come and pick to their hearts content. Well, I was looking for shrooms...Eddy was just enjoying the walk. He loves to explore every nook and cranny. I really didn't spy any shrooms but I found a few surprises.
I found these cute little wildflowers growing everwhere. They are very tiny. Don't ask me the name of it...I just call it "cute".
Further down the trail I see what looks like daffodils growing in the middle of nowhere. Transplants that somehow got dropped here.
Not too far from these little dudes more daffodils are growing right in the creek. I guess the bulbs must have washed down stream. A nice surprise!
Yep, that's a daffodil alright. You just never know what you might come up on in the Creepy Woods!
No, this isn't some crazed wild dog whose toenails need clipping. It's just Eddy giving my the "hairy eyeball" to put down the stinkin' camera and get a move on! I had to get back ASAP because I broke my own rule this month and had to get back to do it...What you may ask? Mow the lawn. I cannot believe I actually mowed the lawn in March. I had too though because it was getting so high that I would need a much bigger mower than I own to tame it! My other rule was no AC until atleast May. I sure hope I can keep that rule!
A sure sign that warm weather and Spring have arrived is this tree outside one of the few windows in the surgical suite. It's this lovely blossom beauty that will show us another beauty show in the fall. The only thing I don't like about it is the smell..and they have a ton of them in our parking lot. I'm good at holding my breath because it's worth putting up with the smell to feast on the loveliness of it.
Speaking of work...It's not just pretty trees that we get blessed with. It's nice patients that take the time to say "thanks" to our staff. One of our patients made these adorable cupcakes for us. This is just a sample of the ones that we received. The breakroom looked like "Cupcake Wars"! It's nice to feel appreciated!
