We have had such a lovely day today. We took a long walk this afternoon with the kids and dogs. It was nice to just be together as a family. We did a little yard work. It is sooo muddy out there still.....

BUT....

Spring is in the air!!!!

And I could not be happier about it.

Look what we found in the yard.....



First a howling blizzard woke us,
Then the rain came down to soak us,
And now before the eye can focus
-Crocus. ~Lilja Rogers



Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
To-day the glint of green is there;Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair, No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there! ~L.H. Bailey


( I don't know the name of this flower. But what fun we had finding is already coming up. Does anyone know what it is? I think it has pink blooms.)

Where man sees but withered leaves,
God sees sweet flowers growing.~Albert Laighton

Crocus are the earliest flower and DEFINITELY a sign of spring. I was just telling my mom this morning that I think we will have a somewhat early spring. I, who am perfectly fine with winter, am actually really forward to it this year.

I think some some sunshine and the outdoors will help me shake my funk!

Anyways, Tancy, when is a good time to plant the cool weather stuff. I know you know! I need HELP! Maybe you need a girls night to help the funk. Maybe? :)
