Waiting for spring

so jess had her baby last night. woohoo! unfortanately we won't be able to go visit until friday. we could have gone this morning if I didn't get such a late notice about the vb-mapp meeting being cancelled. In a way that was a good thing. i am not in the mood to sit for a 4 hour meeting today. not feeling too good to do that. so instead, i got to sleep in just a little longer. woke up at 8:30 and got some work done. then d and i were off to find the sprinkler box to turn our sprinkler system back on. we went next door to see if our neighbor had any idea. she allowed us into her house to go into her backyard to see. d went to look at the box while i was talking to the neighbor. i thought he had tried to turn it on. but he didn't. he only went to "look." i don't know what he was thinking lol. i emailed our prop. manager and she didn't have an answer for us either. she said the maintenence crew or the landscapers would know so they'll check it out. hopefully that'll be soon because our front yard lawn is not doing too great. we'll just have to water it with the hose in the meantime.

the weather has been really nice to us the last few days. we are so happy that the sun is out and it has gotten warmer. soon we can go play fetch with snoopy in the backyard. he has been a lot more interested in staying in the backyard since it has gotten warmer. he was very excited when we were all out there today and was frustrated that he couldn't get his red ball from under the sofa to take out there. well, here are some pictures taken in our backyard dated back in september when we first moved in.









if anybody knows what the orange plant is called, please tell me.
