Spring

As it turns out, the fat robin I mentioned in my previous post sat in my tree and mocked me while the forsythia shivered and the daffodils and I cried for the two weeks following that blessed first day of spring. It was cold, gray and rainy. Almost worse than February, if that is even possible. It snowed a little on April 1st! Mother Nature's cruel prank, I suppose, but I wasn't laughing. Spring has finally shown up the past several days (thankfully!) and here are a few pictures to prove it.

That mother nature sure can be sneaky! At least you have a sweet smiling little girl to make the world feel brighter! You guys look so cute together!

Those pictures with the sheep are SO cute! So is the dandelion one. She's a doll.
Again, you should move to NC. The water's fine!

The rain and gray skies have been abundant here too. I think dear Mother Nature is a bit confused! Caroline is such a doll and those adorable little overalls just do me in! Here's to MANY sunny days ahead!
