Is it just me or are trhe weeks rolling by so fast at the moment, and were back at Sundya again, seems liek it was Sundya just a couple of days ago.
Mind you with me being retired its easy to loose trackof what day of the week it is :)
For thsi weeks post for these two challenges I am able to share some fairly recent photos I took on a walk around the pond in Buttonwood Park, when we had a couple of nice days when the temp rose to the low 50's, and almost fooled us into thinking maybe we would get an early spring, then we got hit with the biggest snow fall we have had thise season, OK let me play it safe and say biggest snow fall so far, I dont want to temp fate

and not sure but these two were swimming around together so guessing they are a couple
I would say I was assuming they were a couple, but I also often say to people
never Assume, of you could make an Ass out of U or ME
