I love....

Spring! Easter, my boys playing outside, cookouts with my family, the smell of sweet flowers and fresh cut grass, walks with my husband and boys after dinner, day light savings, sitting in the sun, the sun warming me down to my soul, playing at the park, taking my socks and shoes off, flip flops, shedding the winter coats and sweaters, Capri's, flowers blooming, trees blooming, fresh vegetables and fruit, seeing my neighbors after a long winter hibernation, etc. I can't stop. I love spring and everything that comes with it. It seems that every year Easter is the turning point for me. I get so depressed with the winter weather and being stuck inside that when Easter comes it reminds me how wonderful God is and everything he has given us. Seeing the flowers and trees bloom reminds me that Jesus died for me and has risen. He has created such a beautiful world.

Last summer we bought a house that the previous owners were wonderful gardeners. The yard was badly over grown and neglected for many years. We cut back, trim and cut down tons. It has been fun seeing what is coming up in the yard. We have lots of work ahead of us but it is fun seeing the flowers. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. Jeremy has given me one at every house. Just as it gets big, we move. This will be the first plant for us to plant at our new house and we will be here to see it get really big.

We have two Dogwoods in the front yard. One needs some TLC but this one bloomed this morning. I have been waiting for it to bloom.
