anniversary

Thursday was the fourth anniversary of our wedding day. I cannot believe how quickly this time has gone by:). (He's still a super good dancer though, so I think I'll keep him;)).

We're home this weekend, doing a little bit of celebrating, relaxing and yard work.

Happy Summer and happy weekend!!

June days...

A four-leaf clover...

Fragrant peonies of pale and raspberry pinks...

Rainy days with yellow raincoats and blue wellies...

Visits to the goats at the local farm...

"I like goats too!"

Can only mean one thing.....

June is here.

Happy June, friends:).

Scenes from a lovely March

Goodbye March. Goodbye Winter. Hello Spring.

Though we're so excited for April and warmer weather, we won't leave March behind without fond thoughts. 

It was really good to us this year, with it's blooming pussy willows,

abnormally glorious weather, providing for numerous outdoor activities,

(including Spring-cleaning and prepping the garden (and eating dirt, in Ben's case)),

rain boot-wearing opportunities,

evening sunset views from our back hill,

precious time spent with old friends,

mama kisses,

and lots of dada time.

So, thank you March 2012. You were spectacular and cherished.

Welcome April.

tulips for March

Hello pretty little things

Spring is in the air

 And in the grocery store floral department.

I couldn't resist these tulips, which are fast becoming my favorite blooms.

If I had it my way, I'd have these lovelies lazing around our home all the time.

But with the amount of diapers and whole milk that we go through in this house, it's not feasible to buy fresh flowers all the time. 

Which is why I planted this variety this past fall. And now their pretty little heads are poking up from the earth.

Spring is in the air....

Do you feel it too?
