I have been dealing with severe allergies today - no fun. There are just certain times of the year when I feel like I am sick every day. Had some amusing fun watching the giraffes today - they tore open their new toy buckets pretty quickly and then a little while later staged a breakout. The male giraffe unlocked the gate and the female attempted to exit her pen. Then it shut again on its own, the male pushed it open again, back and forth for a while.

The zoo has an extra safety feature to not allow the door to open fully from inside the pen, so the giraffe couldn't get all the way out. It sure was hilarious watching the two of them heads together by that gate latch and using their tongues to open it.

Crazy weather here, cold and windy a few days ago and today we hit 76°F.
Started my tomato plants last week, not up yet.

I'm with you there Bergy! Seems the herb pot I cut down and put in the garage last fall is growing nicely, as well a large strawberry plant from dd's garden that missed the fall transplant is flowering. I had planned on adding two large potted lilies to the garden but didn't manage before the snowfall - one pot had already been emptied which had me top with soil and hope. Sweetheart that she is dd potted them and looked after the plants. Made my day when she brought in a pot with a well budded lily as they are of great sentimental value. Made my day! Let spring begin ... still way too chilly here. Surely I will soon see that first robin! :)
