Well, HELLO Spring....

Since today is "officially" the first day of Spring (though I think we've been feeling spring for awhile now), I thought I'd share a few things I LOVE about Spring. It's officially my favorite season. I THOUGHT it was Fall, but Fall doesn't have the FLOWERS that spring does. Fall does have color...but not as bright and cheery as Spring. But Fall, you are still my #2.

#1....I love the sunshine. Especially thru my front windows. I have a love/hate relationship with my house. It's old...which I hate, and I dream of buying a brand-spanking new house one day. But the way it's set up, with the windows and skylight, and the room for the girls to play...I love it. #2....Gellie shoes. (Jelly shoes?) Don't they bring back MEMORIES? oh man! I loved my Jelly shoes. I've been looking for a pair for the girls...Walmart has some, but they are ug, ug, UGly. Thank goodness for Old Navy. $9.50 online, but $8 in the stores. Bella loves hers.
#3....Watermelon. I know, this is traditionally a summer fruit...but Bella saw one at the grocery store and was so overcome with joy, I just had to get it. We sliced it up and enjoyed an afternoon snack in the sun.
And there are other things that I just don't have pictures for:
#4....the abundance of wildflowers seen on the sideroads. I saw my first patch of bluebonnets today and can't wait to get pictures taken in them again this year. And also, these pretty red ones, that I have no idea what their name is.
#5....the weather....it's wash-you-car weather and roll-you-car-window-down weather. It's play-outside weather, weed-the-flower-bed weather, mow-the-lawn-without-feeling-yucky-but-that-is-only-if-you-can-get-the-mower-to-work weather. I wish I could find a place where it would be like this all the time.
And that's about it for now...you get the gist of it...hopefully you were able to enjoy the beautiful day, too!
