Hello Spring

Spring has sprung, and all of a sudden the world looks greener, brighter, and sounds happier!! The birds are whistling pretty songs while crickets back them up with cute little screeches. Our yard recieved it's first hair cut of the season and little lettuces are poking their heads out of the freshly fluffed soil. AND our friend Ken has been visiting with us the past few days. So many things to take joy in and celebrate!!

On the first day of Spring, Tony took a vacation day (just how it should be). We stayed wrapped up in our blankets a little longer than a normal Tuesday, me being the first to slip out of bed. I turned on some music, opened the blinds {hello spring}, and prepared a big brunch of pancakes with maple syrup, sliced fruit, home ground grits, and eggs. We took a long walk at the park where we saw woodpeckers, blue birds, inch worms, and squirrels. Little flowers looked toward the warm summer-like sun. We walked and walked and walked. Then we cooled off at the mall with orangeade and pretzels. And new shoes for me!! :) We browsed a local thrift store and ate a lite snack at the Irish Pub. We took a scenic ride home, enjoyed the outdoors, funny youtube videos, and homemade pizza for dinner, followed by peanut butter cookies and almond milk!! And the start of "80 Days Around The World" -- the 1956 version. ;)
