Crocus - Spring is here!

I haven't posted in forever! Things have been busy, we were out of the USA for one month. So here it is Spring again. But it snowed here 2 days ago -- 7 inches. Fortunately today it is 50 degrees and everything is pretty much melted. . . .

My special sphere today . . .

Here she is in person! How fast they change. . . .

Oh, by the way, I saw a gas price today at $1.66 a gallon. Not bad! Merry Christmas!

A special "sphere"

I need help! I haven't been the best blogger and I have completely lost the instructions on how to participate in the monthly theme day. It seems like things have changed a bit since I last participated.

P.S. This is my daughter.

Gas prices even lower

I know I'm obsessing over this, but I saw $1.79 today and it makes me so happy! I would like to see $1.67 by Christmas. Do you think I will?
