Twig in the snow

My young one (son) Hunter had been talking about driving up here just for a couple days to pick up some of his belongings that he could not take with him when he moved down to southern Ca. a few months back. So this week it just so happens that he has a couple days off work and his girlfriend is out of college for spring break. So they have indeed decided to come up this week. I am sooo excited to see him and I have not met her, just seen pictures and written to her (well e-mail) and I am excited about meeting her.

Soo today I just plumb had other things on my mind than picture taking, ya know?Like kick starting spring cleaning. The reason I have not started on spring cleaning is I am stubborn. If it is snowing outside and does not even begin to feel like spring I will be damned if I am going to spring clean in what feels like winter. LOL!!!

Sooo besides douching my house today. I use that word as my term of endearment for house cleaning. Been using it for years now. Don't remember where I got it.
But ANYHOW, I did run over to the mill pond once to give me and the dogs a break and found this twig in the snow and I thought it looked like something.
I have not decided whether I think it looks like a spider, lobster, or crab. but this twig in the snow caught my eye, so twig in the snow it shall be.

Railroad Tracks are a no-no!

Ihave taken a lot of pictures of Robber's Creek. This time I took these pictures as I was doing something a little illegal (although I did not see the sign until after I took these pictures) In the following you will see a bridge. That is what I walk on when I am walking to Westwood on Mooney Rd. That is where I take all the pictures of Robber's Creek from.
But I was not suppose to be on the tracks. Duh? I just got carried away. Thank god I was not carried away by a train! It was a stupid move and I will not do it again!

Today I am standing on the Railroad tracks looking in the direction I am usually standing. It is with out a doubt a beautiful March day. I heard birds singing and chirping on my walk. I mean REALLY making a lot of noise. It was just awesome. Spring is in the air!

Most of the ice that was here just last week is melted and/or melting. It is all soooo beautiful!
