I have no clue how to create a video that ends up having millions of views on YouTube. That would be kinda cool, though! Whenever I see anything that might be worthy of that, I don't have a camera around. Whenever I have a camera around and want to film something, it seems that my battery is dead or I don't turn on my camera quick enough. Case in point... in the industrial park where I work, it is geese egg laying and hatching season. The new babies are being born and just the other day the proud mama and papa led their little goslings across the grass right outside my window. So adorable. The goslings were brand new. And of course my camera was not available for a video. However, a colleague took this quick snapshot with her cell phone from the parking lot (my office window is the one on the right). You can't really see the goslings very well, though. But I tell you, it was a site to behold!!
No matter what the thermometer says, and no matter what the weather reports may be, I am sick of the dreary, dismal, freezing cold weather. My dog's water dish outside is ice now! It is May 1st!!! April showers are supposed to bring May flowers, right?
There is a song that we used to sing in the Spring at Sunday School... "Popcorn popping on the apricot tree... spring has brought me such a nice surprise, blossoms popping right before my eyes...." Yes, Apricot blossoms do look like popcorn. Here is a picture of the very first blossom on one of my apricot trees. This one is in a pot on my deck... it survived the harsh MN winter we just had, and is the first of my trees to blossom. It most likely will get planted in the ground in the fall, before the ground freezes, but for now it is fine where it is.So disregard the weather man... my tree gave me a blossom!!
