According to the directory, it has been 130 days since my last blog. It's taken me 15 days to get my "new years blog" and if I don't hurry up and say "happy new year" to you all - it will soon be February, or even 2013.I live in a small town, and the end-of-year-in-review newspaper articles are usually the same stuff each year.....

My previous blog was definately outdated. I figure it's time to replace the "forecast of snow" as well as the Easter/Mother's Day greetings. I had managed to upload a few "spring has sprung" photos, but my "blog" has moved straight from winter to summer.Well, technically May is still spring and is supposedly the month of "May flowers" but around here the flowers are in April, and May is the month that teases of summer. Two of the random things that come to my mind...
