Photo Extravaganza

Here are a bunch of photos I've taken over the last week or so with my new little camera....

Our neighbor's weenie dog, Gertie:

Fresh strawberries:

New umbrella plant I picked up for $10 (actually much nicer than the one I had to leave behind when we moved...):

Lillies in my garden:

My front garden coming along nicely:

Our front porch:

And here's Stoopy enjoying some of my tasty yogurt (taken with my old camera and you can totally tell...):

Solar batteries?

Two of my cute little garden lanterns aren't lighting up. Boooo. They are so perfect when the blue lights come on. They are solar powered, but they do have battery-type things inside them. Anyone know if I can just replace those thingies? I guess it's another trip to the trusty local Rona to find out!

Sign of Spring

And here you have it...my first sighting of Spring flowers!

These were in our friend's yard. If only they were in our yard! Our yard is landscaped...there are a couple of spindly little plants that I am sure will turn into something pretty as Summer comes closer...I'm curious to see what they are! Mostly greenery I suspect, so I'll be adding color to the gardens. Can't wait!
