Preparations for Spring

Such a beautiful time of year. All of a sudden, the sun is bursting with energy and warmth! My kids and I noticed that yesterday the daffodils completely opened and the weeping cherry tree went from closed buds to fully opened glory, and in such a short time. I wish I had sat and watched all afternoon to fully witness it!

Our little Easter table is blooming. Today we tried the silk-dye technique from Martha Stewart's site. It was quite fun and interesting to see how the eggs turned out. As busy as life is, I am always so grateful when I make the time to do something special to celebrate the season at hand.



Seeds have been planted. Many seeds are years old, and so I am curious what will come up. Being one of the first warm days of the season, the kids insisted on eating frozen raspberries with cream and running under the sprinkler! Ahhh, I can already feel summer on its way.

Our puppy Sydney is growing big!
Happy Spring!
