A Trio of Yellow Spring Flowers

The spring flowers blossomed at the end of May and unfortunately, they are basically done now. I managed to snap a few shots of some pretty yellow flowers before they disappeared.

A flower’s appeal is in its contradictions – so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.

A Pic of $3.999 Gas and…Spring??

Tricia — Fri, 16 May 2008 04:16:29 +0000

In a follow-up to gas hitting $3.999/gallon, here’s a pic taken yesterday in Calumet.

This is the BP Station and Pamida in the background. Of course, the gas price is the focus of the picture but there are a few other things going on as well.

Pamida is ready for summer and their greenhouse is in full swing. As soon as we see those makeshift greenhouse spring up, it’s pure excitement because summer is a-comin’! But wait…it’s hard to tell in this picture unless it is blown up, but the Superior National Bank sign is displaying 30 degrees! Yikes!

Things were warmer today, but still below normal. I heard today that those on the West coast are in a bit of a heatwave. That sure isn’t the case in the Copper Country LOL.

A Short Spring Shower

Tricia — Tue, 13 May 2008 03:10:01 +0000

We woke up this morning to a layer of frost on our roof. I’m not sure how low the temperature dipped, but it’s a reminder that we still have time to wait before we can plant our garden this year.

The entire day remained chilly with the temps in the 40s. The sun came out for a very short time this afternoon and the evening brought in the cloud cover. For about five minutes, we were treated to a spring rain.

It’s amazing how green everything looks after a rain shower. Our tulips are not blooming yet, but the leaves made a perfect gathering place for water droplets. I couldn’t help it. I had to take a picture.
