After A Long Winter

Yes­ter­day I got out and worked on clean­ing up some of the yard. While I was out I noticed some of the color that is pop­ping up here & there. I love see­ing color around the house. It helps after a long Winter.

Even if we got a lit­tle lucky & really didn’t have that long of Win­ter this year. It felt long. I am not a great Win­ter per­son, even though I have always had Win­ter & would not want to give it up. I still pre­fer days that are a lit­tle warmer and brighter.

Mamacita is sure that fairies live here. She said that they are danc­ing around even when we can’t see them. This made me won­der if she saw some­thing danc­ing & then of course II thought it might have been a bum­ble­bee, given my aller­gies to those guys I’d rather they stay in the cutesy dec­o­ra­tive form. But nope there were no bum­ble­bees so may be she was right & there are fairies. I’d rather deal with fairies than bees. Bees sting.

I hope if there are fairies around us that they can help us this sea­son because we are try­ing our hand at blue­ber­ries. Grow­ing berries reminds me of my Papa who had a bunch of wild berries in the back­yard when I was grow­ing up. I have fan­tasies of mak­ing blue­berry pie, jam, tarts, and pan­cakes stacked high with blue­ber­ries. I know sci­ence says blue­ber­ries are really good for you, with antiox­i­dants, but really I just think they taste good. I’m easy to please like that.  Give me some sun, pretty col­ors and tasty treats and I’m all good.  Now if only I could the fairies to do the rest of my yard work.

I saw this lit­tle guy when the kids were look­ing for eggs.  It looks like Spring has sprung.  I love see­ing the beau­ti­ful col­ors of Spring com­ing to life.  Reminds me that the dark­ened days of Win­ter are behind us and the long days of Sum­mer are awaiting.

A Touch Of Spring

I decided with all my talk about Spring & my Spring Fever that I needed to add some Spring in the house. So while doing some quick gro­cery shop­ping I picked up some flow­ers. I couldn’t resist them, they were call­ing my name.

Some­thing about hav­ing some bright col­ors and pretty flow­ers makes every­thing better.

Look at this lit­tle guy. All dainty & hid­ing out in the bunch. I love these kinds of flower bunches there are always sur­prises to find.

The kids keep talk­ing about how they have a sun­flower now. I’ll let them have this one, even if it’s not really a sunflower.

And now I’m even more excited for Spring. I can’t wait to get out­side and start plant­ing my own gar­den. The kids also love to help, which is always inter­est­ing. Because their ver­sion of help may include dirt in the air & run­ning wild with Spring glee.
