First egg of the season!!

Today was kind of split between a good day and a bad day!
The bad day part started when I woke up to this sight:.....
.....MORE snow!! I was hoping now that it was spring I wouldn't have to see the dull, white stuff 'til next year! Well I hoped wrong. 
Anyways to the good part of the day. I went out to do my chores and I found this:.....
....my first peacock egg of the season. It kind of took me by surprise as they don't lay until it warm out. Maybe thats a sign that it's going to get warm and stay warm. I hope.
Have a great rest of the week

Twins top Yankees on Saturday!

The Twins finally won a game against the Yankees! Score 7-6. Here is a story from the Twins baseball website:

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Twins jumped on Yankees right-hander Buddy Carlyle early and held on to give former New York righty Carl Pavano the win in a 7-6 victory on Sunday at Hammond Field.
The Yankees got out to an early lead on a solo home run by Robinson Cano off Pavano in the first inning, but the Twins came right back with a solo shot by Michael Cuddyer in the first inning off Carlyle, before breaking through for four more runs in the second inning.
2010 Spring Training - Minnesota Twins
Two errors on one play by Yankees center fielder Austin Crum led to a Twins run, as Crum dropped a fly ball hit by Danny Valencia and Drew Butera followed with a sacrifice fly. Matt Tolbert, who was informed before the game that he'll make the Twins as a utility infielder, capped the four-run rally with a two-run triple. Carlyle was knocked out of the inning after recording just one out. In all, he allowed five runs (two earned) on three hits over 1 1/3 innings.
The Twins added another run in the third inning on an opposite-field home run by designated hitter Jim Thome off reliever Steve Garrison. Minnesota added another run in the fifth on a single by Butera that scored Rene Rivera.
The Yankees, though, scored three runs in the top of the fifth, keyed by an error by Tolbert at second base. Mark Teixeira plated two runs with a double, and Gustavo Molina brought home a run with a sacrifice fly.
Doug Bernier brought home another run for the Yankees in the sixth inning on a single that brought home Jesus Montero. It marked the last inning for Pavano, who allowed five runs on 11 hits over six innings in his last outing before Friday's scheduled Opening Day start against the Blue Jays.
"Pav was fine," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He just wanted 90 pitches. However it went or however many innings, he just wanted to get to 90 pitches, and that's exactly what he did."
Catcher Austin Romine was responsible for the Yankees' sixth run, homering off Chuck James in the eighth inning.~ Courtesy Twins Baseball Website

Here is the quote of the day:
I can only please one person a day. Today is not your day and tomorrow doesn't look good either. ~I don't know who wrote this because I found it on a sign in a teachers room today.

Check this out....

I was looking through the new and came across this:

They’re just like us: Even presidents get locked out

President Obama returned to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night expecting to face tough questions on Libya, Japan's earthquake recovery and other major international crises. But a more personal issue stood in the way: he appeared to be locked out of the White House.

Little Bit of Everything...

Well we never ended up getting any severe weather Monday night. But we did get a little bit of that on Tuesday. It drizzled all throughout the day.
Golf practice Tuesday was pretty short. We got to the Tyndall course and started to practice while it was drizzling, which wasn't to bad. It was a little chilly. About 15 minutes into the practice the rain came down a little harder then eventually hailed, which led to thunder, which led us home.
And now today it even snowed a little bit.
It can be raining one day and snowing the next, only in South Dakota. :)

The Beautiful Peacock


I thought I would share some pictures of my peacock with his tail all fanned out! It is a beautiful sight to see!
This past week's weather was very nice, also. Hoping that it sticks around for awhile. Tyndall hit around 73 on Wednesday, I think that was the day!

Our trip is getting ever so close, I am getting very excited. I really wish it would come faster! I am also getting very excited that school is done in 2 MONTHS!! Can't believe it.
Have a great weekend. ~David

It's beginning to feel a lot like ...Spring!!


Well...I sure hope this weather sticks around for the next few.... well lets hope months! 
High school golf starts this week, which I am very excited about. And it looks like these temps. will be a very good start to the season. 
Last week I finally got my birds' pens cleaned, one thing off my check list. Then next thing I have to do is make their nest boxes, as laying season is right around the corner. Then I got more of a real task. I am going to research our trip destination to figure out where I want to go.
O... and another thing, enjoy this last week of winter! 
ON THIS DAY: Today is Pi Day! Celebrate pi which is  the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.  Since that mathematical constant is about 3.14, March 14 became the day to observe it. 
Have a wonderful rest of the week!
