Green

Everything outside is green right now, and I can't believe that merely a month or so ago, we were knee-deep in snow! Today is a crappy Monday, but this morning was such a glorious color...bright green against a somber gray background (it's a rainy day). It was perfect because it showed that the outside world wasn't sure what it wanted to be today, and neither am I!

I love Miami in spring

There was a humongous party at our neighbors' house last night (they had a live band in the backyard and everything). We heard them until way past midnight. I'd complain, but I actually kinda liked listening to the band from the porch. I told Charlie we had the best seats in the house. Miami is a gorgeous campus, probably the most beautiful one I've ever seen. Here is a pic of one of the sidewalks on campus with a spectacular shadow from a tree nearby. The other is of the tulips in front of the main administration building (Roudabush). This campus is covered in tulips and cherry blossoms. It's amazing!

I also included a picture of Zoey with his friend Pedro. We visit Pedro during our walks each morning/afternoon, and their routine is to touch noses and then pee practically on top of one another. It's kinda gross and kinda sweet. Makes me want to get a companion for sweet Zo...

My tiny screened-in porch

Charlie and I have a little screened in porch at the back of our rental. We bought some cute wooden folding chairs, and Charlie put together an old table that was in a shed on the property. We LOVE being out there, especially right now when all of the temperatures are perfect. I took these pics last night of Zoey and Charlie enjoying the porch. With a duo like that, who couldn't just bubble over with love? Zoey loves when Charlie holds him, but he hates when I do...probably because he feels like I'm going to drop him, which I almost do! That dog's gotten so fat!

Spring in Oxford, Ohio

It is officially spring, and when Zoey and I went out for our morning walk, I had to capture some of it. Here is my favorite picture of the morning: there is an old widower who lives up the street. He is so sweet and he has a little poodle who loves to sniff Zoey. He has the most quaint front porch, with an old-fashioned picnic chair and a ceramic duck wearing a quilted vest. I love walking by his house each morning, especially when I get to see him. I'll call this photo "Waiting."
