Back Again.......


The past few days have been rainy and dreary, but haven't dimmed our memories of the days that came before ~full of sunshine and flowers, crab apple and lilac-perfumed air, 


soft green grass under our bare feet,


dinners out at the picnic table and birdsong echoing all around.


Perfect days, in every way. So we can make allowances for a few rainy days, right? After all, they help to make the flowers grow.

Our old computer finally died, and thus my long silence. It's not that I haven't had plenty to keep me busy in the interim  though;) Just trying to keep up with the big kid's schooling, managing the little people, doing the best I can to keep up around the house.......(whew!)....that leaves me pretty near exhausted most days. 
So why did I decide that now is the time to learn to knit a pair of socks?
 I must have finally snapped.


Oh well.


I wish you all could smell the blossoms on my little magnolia.
It is just gorgeous this year.
(~I got my feet all soaked with dew to run out one morning and get these pictures. I couldn't resist....it was looking so pretty!)


Well, Mim is awake, so I must go. But don't worry, I promise not to be such a stranger.
Until next time, then!

Sunshine and Snow...


All of our snow melted over the weekend, 
but then yesterday it came back.


And today there is a blue sky and such a warm sun.


Spring is coming soon.

Snow...



It started as sleet this morning.
Then turned to the most beautiful big feathery flakes.



Mim was watching it out the window,



and I was watching Mim.






Then Blue came and crashed our little party.


But we were fine with that. :)

Miss Posy is such a help with little Mim!

Blooming Again.


Remember this little fellow from last year? Well, he is blooming again, and just the sight of him makes me want to smile! His little yellow friend was unable to survive all of my neglect. But somehow, he made it.
(My house plants have to be pretty tough, if they want to survive.)

Sorry that there has not been much happening around here lately. 
I am hoping to get better about that.
Soon.
