No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. ~Proverb

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain

I absoloutely LOVED the beautiful spring day that we had today!! The spring days that we have had this year have been few and far between. I am afraid that we will not have much of a spring. I don't want to go directly from winter to a HOT summer!!! I wish that our spring season would last a little bit longer. I think that the temperature and weather that we had today was pretty much perfect. While Lyndsey was at dance Madison, Natalie, Mason and I went to Barnes park and enjoyed the day - just a little bit. Some of the things we LOVE about spring are:

Light spring breezes through the air

Temperature of about 70-75 degrees

Beautiful spring flowers and blossoms

Flip - flops and barefeet in the grass

Feeling the warm sun on my face

Finding new birds nests in our trees & listening to them chirp

(we were kind of sad - one nest already fell out and we found the little eggs)

Watching Powder (our dog) lay in the sun

Playing outside with the kids (lightening, tetherball, jumping on the tramp, soccer & jump rope)

Hopefully the days will last a little longer....HAPPY SPRING!!

totally my favorite season!!! I love seeing all of the bulbs coming up! That is one of my rituals in the morning is to just go look at the front yard! That's funny about Powder because you really do feel relaxed when you see your dog basking in the sun!

Perfect description of Spring. I have to admit that thinking about playing at the park with cousins or in your backyard is making me a little homesick...and I don't get that way here usually. Happy Spring!!!
