Signs of Spring

The trees are coming to life once again:






Maple Tree Blossoms


Crabapple blossoms

M and I were bed shopping on the weekend. We met a well-dressed 79 year old salesman in one of the stores. He told us he was the number one saleman for his company and went on the say how many children and grandchildren he has. When people ask him when he's going to retire he says 'when I get old'. I noticed him smoking outside when we left. M found him very gruff in nature and in fact, did not like his authoritative manner. I had no problem with that, in fact, he is a role model for the older generation!

  2. Lovely photos. I feel sorry for people who still work at that age, but perhaps he likes it! Valerie

  3. It is good to keep busy, or something to occupy them. My mom told me she is bored and lonely, as I am too busy to be with her everyday!

  4. Spring? Hmph. I have already killed our marigolds. lol.

    It's nice to be able to keep working well into your senior years, if that's what you want.

    Not so good for those that NEED to, though.
