Signs Of Spring
Ah, the signs of spring are everywhere and I'm playing hooky today.Our new trees we bought last summer are in full bloom:
There are cats in window sills enjoying the breeze:
It is beautiful and mild here right now. I only wish it would stay like this all summer instead of getting hot and humid.
We did a ton of work this weekend landscaping our front yard. It previously had zilch in the way of plants.
Before:
But now it's got fresh, stinky mulch and flowering plants a plenty. We got some quotes on painting the house too, so the ugly turquoise is short-lived. Yippee!
The bees like it too:
These are marigolds from seeds my Mom gave me last summer.
Then we celebrated Claire's 1/2 birthday yesterday and had friends over for a BBQ. The guest of honor slept through most of her party, but we ate and laughed on her behalf. Here's the lovely baby girl on her special day:
Here she is with our friend Lauren:
And here's Lauren's sweet little Lottie:
It's kinda ugly, but I made her a 1/2 birthday cake:
We had a good time.
It was a lovely weekend and I'm just amazed how quickly my baby girl is growing before my eyes. She is so lovely, so pure, so beautiful. I fall in love with her more and more every single day. Happy half of a year my darling baby Claire. I love you so much!
