Rusty's Haircut...

We took Rusty to have his first-ever haircut (since we adopted him in October 2014) this past Wednesday. (28th March.) I was worried that his anxiety issues would cause some problems for the dog groomer, but my worry was completely unfounded as Rusty did really well. We were very pleased with the results! :)

 Rusty even received a "Pawgress" report card. It said that he was super sweet and his behaviour was wonderful. :)

Pharmacy Dragon...

I helped make and display this super-cool dragon kite at my workplace recently. It's definitely an eye-catching visual display for the Pharmacy!

 The dragon kite is really cool.

Spring Snow...

We had some more late-season snow last week. This cold front actually came late on the Spring Equinox (Tuesday, 20th March) and dumped about two inches of snow. It didn't stick around for too long though, as the ground temperatures had been quite mild and the air temperature was above freezing. It was a pretty start to our Spring in the northern hemisphere, however! :)

 Driving to Washington the next morning.

 The trees in the area looked really pretty.

Spring Mill State Park on our Anniversary...

We took our first outing as a family of four to a State Park on our sixth wedding anniversary. (Sunday, 4th March.) We went to beautiful Spring Mill State Park where we visited the Nature Centre (always a favourite for Riaan), walked around the Pioneer Village and saw the massive water mill. We also went to the impressive Spring Mill Inn nearby. It was a great afternoon exploring nature and history as a family! :)

Lonely Duck...

It's been a busy time in our household with new adjustments and hence the blog silence lately. But I've still managed to keep an eye out for interesting nature spots. Here's a lonely little duck paddling serenely across the pond several weeks ago. :)

 Not sure what type of duck it is, though.
