How we know Spring is almost here...

We have loved the gorgeous Spring weather so much we can hardly stand it. It feels so good to be outside in the fresh air and work in the yard and play with the kids. Here are some pictures from around our house today, which are clear indications that Spring is on its way!

Here are some blossoms on a cute little tree in our backyard. While I was taking the pictures a honeybee flew up and landed on the flowers. We all enjoyed watching him.


Here is a dandelion. I know these are just weeds, but after the winter I'm thrilled to see anything that looks like a flower. We have quite a few of these in our front yard which, when they go to seed, the kids love to pick and make wishes and blow them across the yard. I guess its a good things I like them. We're probably destined to see more of them.


Another flowering tree around our house. This one is in the front. I love any flowering tree and would be very tempted to have nothing but those around my house.


Merry Grace was out swinging in the yard today. She loved it!!! I could barely get her off to come back inside!

While I was planting some seeds, Ian spent time climbing some small trees in our yard. He was quite good and thrilled with his new skills.

YAY SPRING!!!
