Sunny Days

... are chasing the clouds away...

It's been so nice!!! I was feeling a little grumpy that the snow was already gone because it left brown ugliness in it's wake. But then we got out and started playing, and I remembered how FUN it is to be outside! It's a whole new world... a new fantastic point of view...

And then we found some signs of life! Ella spotted some little green daffodil spikes and sent the neighbor kids on a flower scavenger hunt to find them all around the yard. She even stole the camera from me to take pictures of them.
 

 

I hadn't planned on it, but I just couldn't keep my gardening instincts at bay and I had to start pulling up dead stuff. I always forget how much I LOVE gardening!

 

I don't miss these little buggers... and so it begins.

I took the chance to prune a little... pears are notorious for water spouts. Check out that one that takes up the length of the photo! It had to be put in it's place.

As I was putting my bucket away I noticed this little pot forgotten on a garage shelf... what a reward for being lazy and leaving it there all year! So I brought it inside to water and watch.
