Signs of Spring....

Today the skies parted and we had a bit of a dry day. We have been drenched with rain here lately and everything is flooded. So when I had the opportunity to get outside and see what was going on, the doors couldn't hold me in anymore. I really could use some signs of spring to shake these winter blahs. The smell of spring was in the air for the first time, and our first robins started flocking around our neighborhood. I even woke the other morning to a songbird serenade, yes I am ecstatic spring is here!


Buds on my favorite lilac bush and the daffodils have broke ground, spring is almost here!

Taylor and I took a walk around the yard for the first time. It was a little bittersweet though, nice to see the yard, bad to see all of the work that needed done as a result of winter. I picked up a bit of trash that had blown into our fence, and moved a few planters, but today's tour was just to assess the damage, and see the new life popping up.


Soon these planters will be filled with beautiful blooms!

Taylor loved it as well. She really could care less about walking around the yard, her main concern was sifting through the sand and picking rocks out. She has had a passion for rocks ever since our trip to Port Huron. She has this need to pick up rock and pebbles everywhere we go. See my post about Port Huron HERE to see Taylor in action!

The breeze was really warm as well. It was nice to just sit there on the deck and take in the warmth. Ahhh...I really can't wait for more signs of spring!


Taylor loves the breeze.

I hope to have more photos as the weather warms! Maybe if the water recedes a bit we can go to one of our favorite parks?

Happy Spring!

Until next time...
