It has been officially Spring since 7:21 p.m. EST.
It was still winter yesterday when much to my surprise I discovered that the first flower had already defied the winter and poked its way out through the exhausted soil in my yard:
Coco is equally as sick of the winter. Here’s how she looked earlier today as she stomped on the sacred slice that remains of the tire she has finally split into pieces. Naturally, she demands that I throw it for her:
What Coco never could have predicted earlier is that tonight there would be hail — followed by the first thunderstorm of the year (with plenty of lightning) which is frightening her out of her wits!
That flower had a lot of balls.
(More snow is coming, naturally.)

Central Ohio has Coltsfoot as the first flower, though I’ve never seen it except at one particular south-facing embankment on my bike commute at the end of the first week of March each year.
Coco is beautiful. Even though we no longer have Pit Bulls, I still have a soft spot for them.
I take it you can ‘frisbee’ her tire shred. 🙂
No only can I, I must!

(And yes, Coco is beautiful, thanks. She takes full advantage of that fact.)
