Thank you, Al

The Internet is truly an amazing invention and I had first-hand evidence just last week.

When I arrived at home from getting oh-so-cute axle boots for my car, I discovered that the parking lights would not turn off. In a dark garage, it was easy to see that the parking lights stayed on no matter what I tried. I turned the lights switch off and on several times, and fiddled with the dome light switch, although why I thought that would be involved, I don't know.

Puzzled, I went online and googled "parking lights on lights turned off Legacy" and in many different places on the 'net was the answer: there is a toggle switch on the steering column that allows the parking lights to be turned on without putting the key in. I ran downstairs, found the switch and sure enough, it had inadvertently been flipped while at the dealership. Problem solved, without me having to call the dealership and sounding like an idiot!

Now if Google could only tell me why my neighbors park in the front yard instead of on the driveway.

Roar

It is impossible NOT to mention that March came in like a lion yesterday when balmy Georgia got snow! We were in short sleeve t-shirts on Saturday, then yesterday the temperature dropped and it snowed

And when it snows in a place that does not normally get snow, of course we get out and play in it. And take photos.

I took this photo from inside the house. The cardinal was loudly voicing his thoughts on the weather; since he kept hiding under the chairs and table, my guess is that he heartily disapproved:



I wonder if the flamingo wondered where he made the wrong turn?



Don't ask me about this snow being...James made it:



Aidan does not look particularly thrilled about the white stuff:



But he seems to like it better in this photo:



Can you see the flower on the tulip tree?



And here is my “See Rock City” bird house covered in snow. I don’t know if you can see it or not, but the tree from which it is hanging is already budding:
