Look what I found...

Could it really be Spring? I was cleaning up one of my flower beds and this little daffodil was just smiling away! It may be the only one. It may be snowed on at any moment. But it sure makes me happy!


To those of you in warmer climes...it might not be super exciting. But here, where we have had the coldest April on record...it is something to shout about!

Have a wonderful spring day!

Ciao a tutti!

Peent...

Aaah, the amazing new world of girl toddlers. Gwen is so funny to me sometimes...this girl LOVES 'peent' (or pink to the rest of us)! I just had to take this picture (and of course post it on the web)...it looks like she tackled her dresser and found anything and everything that was pink...it must be fun to be 2!

March is marching quickly by...with or without me! I have seen my first robin of the year, little song birds are visiting and it wonderful to sit and listen to them, the trees have their first leaf buds, the grass is beginning to look green (now one has to get on their hands and knees to find it, but it is there) and the 4 inches of snow we get in the morning is melted away by the afternoon sun. The kids are finally playing outside again, only to come in absolutely COVERED in mud, and my mud room looks like, well, a MUD room. Ah, spring time in MT! I have started my annual stalking of my bulb plants...those dang deer can smell them a mile away and if I want to actually see a flower...spray with horrendous smelling 'stuff' and they leave them alone! Success! But I have to spot them first...let the hunt begin! When I first see those glorious green buds springing from the earth...you'll be the first to know.

Have a most wonderful Thursday!

Ciao a tutti!
