Signs of Spring

Spring officially begins in six days, but when I step outside my door, there it is. I didn't need to go very far, or for that matter, I didn't even need to take my slippers off. When I stepped off that last step was this gorgeous blooming bouquet of daffodils. My favorite flower of all. I have loved these as early as kindergarten. I always visioned fairies flying in and out of the trumpets. And not to far out I spotted this little hyathins peeking it's little head thru the mulch. Oh what a lovely scent. This is right near my swing, and when I sit in the swing, with the warm summer breeze the scent of these beauties just take mes away. Up in the tree you will find some budding magnolias, I have a feeling that old man winter wasn't to kind. There has been a lot of branches broken off, but I am sure she will do her best to bring her natural beauty into bloom.

beyond a doubt
is when it brings
the children out-Edgar Guest

I live at the bottom of a dirt hill. There are two little boys, each one lives at the top house on each hill. So naturally they love to play in the middle, which of course is my yard. And even better I have lots of water, rocks and the right terrain that all little boys love. Of course if they would only clean up the messes they make I wouldn't mind so much. But boys will boys..... When I did my walk around this afternoon I found these treasures to share with you.

Down by the pond sailing my little boat. What did I do, my creation won't float? Oh well, I'll lie and dream of when I grow big. Some day I'll sail the sea on my own rig.



I hope where ever you are, you find some spring in the air.
Kindredly,
