Sitting at my computer desk, here in our apartment; I can look out the window and see the most beautiful trees. They're all in full flower and just gorgeous.
When we walk the dogs along the "green-belt" areas of the apartment complex, we see other trees that are flowering and beautiful as well...
This complex is really nicely landscaped, and attracts all sorts of birds and small animals. We have ducks, Canadian geese, bunnies, squirrels, robins, pigeons, doves and the occasional cat that we have to trap...
HA HA HA!!! Just kidding, that's just Rover after Kevin dumped the laundry basket over him. Kitty looks happy, doesn't he?
Seriously, though... Spring seems to bring all the local little animals out to frolic in what is essentially our backyard...some really interesting species, too...
This specimen is called a "Teenage-a-saurus"...of the female gender. Amazing the wild-life you can see in your own backyard, isn't it? haha
By the way, anyone who knows what kind of trees are in these pictures, please let me know. We LOVE them and wouldn't mind planting some at our new house, but don't know what they are. Thanks, and Happy Spring!!!

Spring Break!!!
There's nothing like keeping busy to make Spring Break go by quickly.
From a fast trip down to Utah to shop for furniture - this is our new dining room set...
...and measuring the windows in our new house for window coverings...Shopping for furniture was way more fun!!!
To playing with friends who came to visit from Oregon. The girls got to swim with them in their hotel pool.
...And a great trip to the Boise Zoo... Where we saw camels...
...and lazy tigers...
...and beautiful snow leopards...
...and four little monkeys sitting in a tree...
Actually, the monkeys are Jackie, Allison and Brett Honyak, and Amanda...but monkeys they are, all the same. Monkeys who had a great time over Spring Break...even with Brett breaking his toe on the last day...But that's a tale (or is it tail?) for another time.
