SPRING HAS SPRUNG by Blog Dog Dan


Beautiful butterfly!
Bunnies, butterflies, bees, birds, and bears (No, no bears, at least not where we were!) - signs that spring is definitely here!  I had such a great weekend playing out in the yard and going to the park!  Did you go to the park this weekend, too?  Look at the pictures my owners took while walking on the nature trails, at the park, and in our yard!  
Next Sunday, April 24, is Easter - I know you're excited about the Easter Bunny and hunting for those pretty eggs!  Send me some pictures of all the eggs in your basket and I'll put them on my post next week! 

 
That's a male cardinal!
 
Can you find the grasshopper?

    
 
A snake in the grass!
  
Three ducks in a row!

Turtles love a log!

Can you find the bee?





 

 
Look who's hungry!

What a handsome pair!

Now, here's some cooking tips for boiled eggs for your parents:  Did you know that “hard boiled” eggs should not actually be boiled?  Boiling the eggs makes them rubbery.  Instead, you should boil the water, take the pot off the heat, and leave the eggs in the hot boiled water for the length of time it takes to get them to the stage you like, soft (1-4 mins.) or hard-boiled (15-17 mins).  It’s also best to use older eggs and pierce them with a needle prior to cooking to make them easier to peel.  Once they’re finished cooking (or after they’ve been dyed or decorated) simply peel, sprinkle with a bit of salt & pepper, and enjoy.
