(153) More signs of Indiana Sringtime

It's for sure now, Spring has sprung right here in the heartland of Indiana...Seen at the right are more spring flowers and my Indy Gator Alvin E. Gator caught red handed picking flowers again. He loves roses and just about always has one in his hand...thinks it will cut ice with me and I won't call the pound and turn him in for gatorizing my pond....He is a good gator...Came home from Florida with me maybe 6 or 8 years back and had kind of made himself at home here...But anyway Iris's and dafadills and tulips are bursting out everywhere..Why even the peonies are shooting up growth like they are in some sort of hurry to produce those big red flowers early this year.. My guess is they will not wait until late may to bloom but maybe early to mid May we will see them in full bloom.

Now my second pic is a for sure sign of spring also and that is a roofing crew removing the old and then installing a new roof over in the Farmington Addition...It is a large house but they will have it all finished in this dry period we now have going for us...it will be ready then for some warm days to help seal down the shingles and lock them down tight. Something needed big time for those Indiana winds that come our way now and then sometimes in the 60 MPH range...weak shingles just sail through the air like frisby's and cause home owners much stress for sure...
This happy homeowner will be "all set" now with a great looking demensional roof shedding future rains and winds for several years to come.....

Well that's it for this post but rest assured spring has come to the midwest and soon corn planters will "roll" across the Indiana fields and seeds will find themselves surrounded by warm rich soils and feel the life in them that God gave them, and they will send out a shoot and a root...the shoot will head up to the warm sunshine burst out and unfurl leaves and even produce an ear of golden corn...The root will head downward into the rich Indiana soil and seek out the nutrients that are needed by the plant above to make all of it happen this coming Indiana Summer...

Ok yes I use the work Indiana quite a bit...you see my google ads at the top are kind of hung up yet so far on things of Naples Florida...Not sure what it will take to get them oreinted back to Indiana here but maybe this will do it....So here goes google try this, Indiana, Golden Corn, Hoosiers, God's Country, what is it gonna take to shut down the advertisements for Florida????????Well we will see...

It's a pleasure to "see" the Tippecanoe County springtime through your blog posts! It's something we miss! Thanks for the reminders.
