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.

February stroll

We have a very long driveway

that leads to a very busy street.

But if you cross our very busy street, you'll find yourself on a very sweet side street.

We like to find ourselves there every now and then to enjoy views of a setting sun,

a beautiful, twisted old tree,

 a still marsh.

And during perfect summer evenings, a firefly-lit field.

These photos were taken during today's walk.

** On a side note, this has perhaps been the most mild winter of my thirty-one years. I cannot recall a February that looked like this. How is February from your home?
