Nothing like SNOW WHITE against the green.
Scenes like this are the main and probably only reason that we valley dwellers will welcome snow in March.
Yesterday afternoon's contrast of almost-green fields with that brilliant white backdrop was jaw-dropping to say the least.
Twas a different kind of gorgeous this morning with the mountains outlined by a hot-pink ribbon of early sunlight running along their tops. Evenly spaced rays of thin gray clouds in the sky above this mountain scene added an extra touch of beauty.
And, so the Ides of March have come, and thankfully, so far in this historically ominous day, we are not feeling the need to Beware.
I told Bill, while reading the morning paper, that we could watch television pretty much all day long with the last of the regional NCAA basketball tournament championships running from 10 until "Selection Sunday" at 3 p.m.
And, then come the Academy Awards.
What a perfect day for good TV if we want to be couch potatoes all day.
No plans for that at this house, but we're happy to know that when we come inside, there will be an enticing TV menu ready to roll.
Little Foster is experiencing his second bout with canine vestibular disease aka "old-dog vertigo," and, happily, he is getting better each day.
His first bout in late November took about six weeks for his head to quit tilting off to one side. Still, he soldiered on, and so did we, seeing that his life was the best it could be in spite of the circumstances.
We're doing the same now, and, except for not being too cooperative about taking nausea pills, Foster has been doing his best at getting back to normal.
We're grateful that we have the time to give this wonderful little dog all the time he needs to get better.
We're also grateful to Dr. Kelly at Center Valley Vets who's always there to guide us through his care.
Yesterday after putzing at a variety of indoor and outdoor projects, we decided to go to Sweet Lou's to grab a bite of dinner.
As we left the restaurant, we happened on to the gentlemen above. Over the years, Trevor, on the left, has helped with construction of a few projects around the Lovestead, including the dog run.
Meanwhile, Zach, on the right, graduated from Sandpoint High with our daughter Annie. He works as a therapist in Coeur d'Alene.
It was great to catch up what's happening in the lives of these two lovable guys.
Bill's bonfire from yesterday.
The huge pile of debris south of the house is gradually getting smaller as he picks out items and starts small bonfires.
The finches are entering their colorful season.
Two days until St. Patrick's celebration, and the Irish endorphins are overflowing.
Hope you enjoy today's moving and inspiring selection.
Happy Sunday.

Annie and her friends spent some time in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, yesterday, where she captured a shot of this beautiful blue flower.
