From Snow to Spring


















We have had some gorgeous weather over the past few days! We are enjoying LOTS of outside time and it is fun to see Ella participate now! She goes exploring around the yard, finding rocks and dandelions, and then goes to the sand box and inevitably ends up pouring sand down Anson's shirt! She is a quiet and devious trouble maker! But in a cute way :o). Today we bought and planted some flowers ... impatients, violas, marigolds, and some others that I can't spell. Our bulbs that I planted in the fall (the whole length of our driveway) are all coming up! We have daffodils, tulips, crocuses, and again some more that I can't spell or remember. They are beautiful!

Today Anson came running in the back door, shouting, "Mommy, guess what? I saw a big bee!! That means its SPRING!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Can you tell we like spring around here? :o)
I've posted some various pictures from this past week/end.

You are so lucky to have Spring and be able to plant flowers! My violas are in the back of my suburban, just waiting for a warm day! Ella is looking like such a big girl. Can you believe they aren't babies anymore :-)

Just caught up on your blog - I love the daffodils! I miss the Spring flowers like azaleas. Taks lots of pictures for me, PLEASE.

Forgot to mention that silk flowers are all the rage here, even though we have beautiful tropical flowers everywhere :)
