Spring is here!

With spring finally here in Wisconsin I thought I would post a picture of Sassy. We haven't seen her since last November just before the cold weather set in. Hopefully the warmer temps will bring her out of hibernation. I don't know a lot about chipmunk behavior, but we are looking forward to seeing these little guys again in our backyard. You can see our chipmunk videos at poetlady.com

Last week was Easter so I was out of town visiting my parents. My youngest brother had his three month old son with him, so I got to see him for the first time. He posted of picture of me holding the baby on his blog and I sure look like I'm getting old. Maybe it was because we were up until midnight playing cards the night before (not something I do very often). Anyway, gas prices are on the rise again, so it looks like another summer of restricted travel. $2.89 per gallon isn't too far from last summer's high. Not sure how we managed to get ourselves so dependent on oil. Americans love their vehicles, it isn't our fault that they all run on gasoline. Give us an affordable alternative NOW!
