View out our bedroom window...

The crabapples are truly at their peak right now. It seems like if I blink my eyes they will be gone and it will be the dog days of summer. How do I keep Spring with me all year long? I just want to savor it!!!!!

Bedroom decorating update

The curtains are hanging! They still need to be hemmed, but they're up and it makes the room look totally different! I like it!

Photo tag

Well, I had a hard time finding a picture in the 4th folder...it didn't have 4 pictures. :-) and then when I chose a different method, the picture that resulted is AWFUL! My Kodak point-and-shoot whacked out on me and all my pictures from our stint in the St. Patrick's Day parade had a pinkish cast to them. Here's one, though it's not the fourth. The fourth one is barely distinguishable.
All for now!

Kind of neat, in an artsy kind of way! :-)

I got tagged by Megan. So those of you that I have tagged, here's what you do:

1. Choose the fourth folder where you store pictures on your computer.
2. Choose the fourth picture.
3. Explain that picture.
4. Tag 4 other people.

Hmmm...who are you?
Kassi, Amy, Anita, Stacie

Another sign of spring...

The bluebirds are back! With 2 houses up now, we hope to get at least one family of bluebirds to stick around. Somehow the sparrows seem to always get in first.
Oh, the bluebirds are so beautiful! Such a brilliant blue flying across the newly green lawn.

Celebrate Spring!

Spring is my favorite season, so it was fun to make these yummy cookies to celebrate the slow, stuttering start of our Spring. The boys enjoyed helping to cut them out and mommy had fun putting her limited decorating talents to work. The colors were pretty anyway! :-)

I hope you are enjoying the beginnings of Spring!




Trevin had to try his hand at the decorating, too...in the bowls, that is. The question is, how much got in the bowl and how much in his mouth? :-)

Special company!

Happy 1st Day of Spring! This has been a good week. Lots of special privileges and nice weather. Today is in the 70s! Got some shrubs pruned, old plants pulled up and my boys bought me my first flowers to plant today! Pansies! I love them!

Here's some shots of our special guests this week:

Enjoying our guest's special talent.



And more talent...this time origami!



Taking the origami frog for a test jump. It worked really neat!

Harbinger of Spring!

Today is a warm one...77 per our local weather station! While the boys were playing outside today, I wandered around picking up sticks and was surprised to see the dogtooth violets up and blooming! There's still a chance a freeze might get them, but at least I got to enjoy them today!
