Welcome Spring!

This weekend was so beautiful and really needed around here! I love each season for what it brings, and right now, Spring is bringing exactly what I need to see. Aaron worked on the yard the last nice weekend we had, and since it's still not planting time, I looked over gardening magazines and seed catalogs and started making plans. Pellet stove off, windows open, it was wonderful! Jess had friends over Friday night and Saturday, then finished chores on Sunday. After her chores, she was outside painting. Daffodils are her favorite flower, so out in the sun she went, paints, paper and pencils in hand.

Jess is such a natural artist, and I must say I'm quite jealous of her talent. She has a list of requests for artwork from family, including me....not sure when she'll get around to it. ;o)

Our next door neighbor's yard is covered with a cute little spring flower which I think are called "Snowdrop". They are almost like a trail leading from their yard to ours, and I just love it.

So as you can see, I'm ready for Spring! Red geraniums in pots on our front steps to greet visitors and all over the deck just because, a vegetable garden bursting with tomatoes, cukes, and all kinds of herbs, and our rock wall spilling over with different types of hosta, astilbes, and ferns. Hope this weekend got your Spring and Summer dreams started!
