  well, sort of.

  every march since we moved in to this house, we have had a mallard couple fly to our yard daily.

  i totally forget about them until i look outside and there they are, waiting for bread.

  I have lived here four years and the ducks have come every March. They are fun to watch. Last week my daughter were sitting on the front porch watching them when suddenly they both flew off. I couldn't see any means of communication between them but there wasn't a moments hesitation, they both flew off at the same time. Pretty neat to see them back year after year.

  Sean, aren't you sick of the snow? It will be spring in two days! St. Pat's was fun. My parents, your dad and Randy and his boys all came over. Steve and your dad drank Kaliber (NA beer brewed by Guinness) and the rest of us enjoyed our Guinness along with some Irish whiskey. It was grand. How was yours?

  Yesterday was such a teaser! You can see the lines in the grass from the lawnmower on Sunday. I miss the sun already.

  Even my three year old looked out at the snow and said "BORING!" My five year old didn't comment.

They are so cute waddling around the grass and then one day they just never show up and we have to wait another year. They are getting spoiled, the last few days they fly in for breakfast AND dinner.
  Edited to say I took this picture this morning!

  Too cute.

  Update on my parents

  princess and i have been posting (a couple weeks ago) about the ongoing 'soap opera' involving my mother, her fall, and where she will live.

  three weeks ago, we put her in a group home.

  she is nearly 90, and falls a lot, but has an extremely sharp mind, and is a real "going concern".

  I remember standing in my crib watching my dad and another man, either my Uncle Jim or dad's friend Gunter bringing in my new bed. Don't know how old I was. Mulan can fill in the details.

  When I was about five my mom stopped at a grocery store to buy something quickly and she left me in the car. (Not unusual back them I guess) Anyway, this guy pulls up and hits the car! He looked in at me and then left quickly. I didn't tell my mom until very recently. I remember thinking she would be upset with me and so I didn't tell. Funny huh?

  Sorry Sean! I know that Cascade view while driving to Alderwood is just breathtaking. Today is a spectacular clear sunny day! Nice change from yesterday's snow.

  Your dad is coming over for corned beef and cabbage this afternoon. Guiness too of course! Wish you were here to celebrate with us!

  The Olympic Mountains Ozzie, aren't they amazing? They are to our west, I couldn't find a picture of the view to the east. The Cascade range is really beautiful too, but you can't beat that view of the Olympics over Puget Sound.

  Here is a nice Seattle skyline: http://209.61.190.237/PTG_RegionMain_R10.html

  It is an amazing place to live. The view makes the daily errands a pleasure.

  Sorry to have run this thread off the screen, I thought I was just putting up the link. The picture is huge!

  I can't wait to visit your part of the world Eman. Maybe next year, this years vacations are already planned.

  looks like spring has arrived in earnest.

  the sun is shining warmly, the yellow daffodils striking in their resplendence against the backdrop of a very bright unclouded blue sky, the warmth of the sun refreshing my face, warming my soul.

  the trees are coming out into leaf, springtime flowers are everywhere.. just off for my walk down to the helford river, anyone want to join me?.
