its been such a beautiful day!

every time I go out, there is something new...

I am not sure how many of these we planted, but they are just popping up all over...

and we cleaned an area out after lunch...

I did go back to bed this morning and slept late...

got all the leaves and some old plants out of here...

thinking I might want to wait before planting it, though...

after all, its not april yet...

all taken apart, raked and put back...

a few things moved around...

so glad I got some of these from my father in laws before he sold the house...

clematis...

yeah!

I love this color for spring...

even did my egg tree last night...

lilac...

amazing...

Chris and my son, Craig...

they have been friends since kindergarten...

Chris's mom is the math teacher at the high school...

Doug and a frog for protection...

he forgot to wear green...

yeah, we are a pinching bunch...

I got it this morning in the shower...

like, that's not really fair...

this evening we have thunderstorms heading for us...

I need to call the mower guy...

we could hear the thunder...

to show you how far along we are this spring, here are two photos from the last couple of years...

this one is from 2010...

and this one is last year...

this is how is normally looks around here...

and I have been thinking this week, as I sit in the yard or look out the windows...

that this spring might be someone's answer to prayer...

somewhere, there are those who are having their last spring...

their last month...

their last week...

their last day...

maybe someone asked for one more spring...

I like to think that God moved Heaven and Earth to answer someone's last wish...

you know, He's awesome like that...

;)

can you see His hand in this?

I do...

have a great evening...

Happy St Patrick's Day...

another great day here...

just can't seem to get moving this morning...

so, might just lay back down for a bit...

happy green day, irish or not...

I have a tad in me...

don't you?
