The bleeding heart is coming back!!! Spring is so great :)

This is the interior of a tulip magnolia. Andrew and I went to the Morris Arboretum today. It was wonderful despite the cloudy skies and slightly chilly temperatures. There quite a few things in bloom, including some magnolia and cherry trees. There was also a witch hazel that we came across that was still in bloom; it smelled simply divine!!

It's so great to see things coming up in the garden!! This is photo of a plant that we planted in front of the downspout in the front of the house. It is reddish-purple with white flowers that smell like vanilla or garbage, depending on what source you look at... I don't remember what the name of it is. I'm sure that the tag is somewhere in the basement... Anyway, it didn't do so well last year but seems to be doing quite well so far this year!! Exciting!!!

This new fan was a real life saver this week!! It has been quite warm here and the university refuses to turn off the heat!!! The fan is little but very powerful; however, it makes it bit hard to keep papers on my desk when it's running and it also dries my eyes out if it is blowing on my face.

So, Andrew had a somewhat rough term this past winter and he also has had to stay late at work every night this week. Overall, he has seemed a little overwhelmed and down and so I thought it would be nice to get him a little present. What I purchased was a mug from one of his favorite video podcasts, Dylan's Couch. It's a bit weird but funny nonetheless. You should check it out.

Yes; these are the holiday lights. Yes; they are still hanging up on our front porch. It's a good thing too. Our normal outdoor lights are not cooperating... We'll have to get someone to take a look at them. We spent the evening on the front porch, enjoying the lovely weather. These twinkly little lights provided our illumination.

I prepared the guinea pig veggies for the week this evening. This is the sink full of greens that I cut up, washed, dried and stored for the piggies. My two boys will go through all of this in a week to a week and a half. They are very hungry piggies!! So cute...

While I was sitting on the front porch reading and eating some very tasty Doritos, the neighborhood cat came up and walked through our front yard. He or she (not sure which) proceeded to lie on the pavement in front of Andrew's car for a little while. I moved closer to take a picture and the cat came up to me and let me pet him/her. He/she then sat on our sidewalk and relaxed. I think that the cat is very beautiful and he/she is so friendly. If I have a cat, I hope that it is like this one, only inside.

So you all know by now how much I adore lilies. Andrew and I picked these up at Giant supermarket on the way home from Ikea this evening. I was very surprised how nice they are, coming from a supermarket and all.

Spring! Spring!! Spring!!! The crocus remind me of Spring. I love it!!!

HAPPY SPRING!!! This month's flowers are lilies of the valley. As I have said before, lilies and orchids are my favorite flowers. I especially enjoy lily of the valley and I can't wait until they bloom!!!!

I purchased 35 pounds of hay from Washington state for the piggies. It is half second cut timothy and half bluegrass. This is a picture of the bluegrass. Bran and Wyn have never had it before. I hope they like it!! I also hope that I can figure out where to store it all...

Number 6 in the "Perspectives on the Cube Life" series. No; this is not a tiny, green Barney!! It is a remote controller holder that belongs to Andrew. He let me bring it to work and now he holds my cell phone.
