Yes, in Auburn, not Springtime for Hitler. I think it's about a month ahead of normal schedule, but this is the Lady Banks Rose on the arbor of my back porch. Most blooms I have ever seen on it.

I think this is cute. TAH attempting to catch some type of little reptile - is it just a plain lizard if is brown but can turn to green??? Anyway, that's what it was. Kennedy and Chapman look on with great interest. He did catch it. Kennedy touched it but Chapman wouldn't.

Beautiful roses! And a beautiful shot of, ahem, TAH's best side. . .

That's a back porch entirely fitting for Stately Harris Manor!

That rose is amazing!

And TAH is a good grandad!

I am not a herpetologist, but the only lizardy-like creature that I am aware of that changes colors like that is a chameleon.

I wonder if this is the lizard?

There are rodents who can do that as well....

The advertisement on the avatar may be a clue....

And besides, ES really can change colors. That's how he can sneak into Colorado....

I think that may be it. I had Googled chameleon and it didn't look right. This one is much closer to the one they were chasing.

The bored sure is hinky this morning. That last post, according to my screen, didn't post. I'm glad I didn't hit send again!

Nope, all in the same week though.

I have Rose Envy! But not Pollen Envy. I've got the weeping cherry blooming already and the pine pollen is insane, but once the azaleas come I bet the cars will be totally yellow.

That is amazing! It will win.

You can get rid of all the colors except blue and orange, and it will be even better!

Angel is so cute with her changing look of amazement.

I just realized that MiniFamily will be rooting for Tebow!

Mangy rodents do not sneak into Colorado. They fly into Hawaii and are still there, thankfully.

The lizard was probably an anole. We have them everywhere. I love them since they eat bugs. They're not as big as chameleons. Cats love them, too.

Those bushes are phenomenal. It makes me happy to look at those pics.

I just realized it might be easier to unload the preseason game tickets this year! And my b-i-l wants a Tebow Jets jersey. So it's at least a profitable move for the Jets. We'll see how it works out game-wise.

We're doing a Jet Set activity tonight--taking the new light rail to an AHL game. Mini-me wanted a Revis jersey and Erin wanted Sanchez but they sent us two Revises. I'll see if anyone has a Tebow yet this evening, but I doubt it...

It rained today, so the pollen is now under control. We've had yellow cars for the entire month of March. All the azaleas and dogwood trees have been in full bloom for about 2 weeks now.

That's not very nice. You don't even know him.
