Springing

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!

I've already heard reports that Parker started her morning with a desire to wear shorts. What a great attitude in her colder location.

I think we can all celebrate spring today regardless of weather. Are you having a WELCOME SPRING PARTY? Good idea don't you think. Kids especially love any reason to have a party and this is a good one.

I remember Mom teaching me about crocus and that they are usually the first signs of spring even coming up through snow.

When we moved to Joseph, I heard a lot about spring lambing. Poor babies born in the snow but it happens.
Okay, this is just a Google search photo of "snowy springs" and when I saw this I thought it looked so much like my big boy. Kirby's never encountered snow. He's a wimpy dog when it comes to swimming and I wonder what snow would do to him.
How do you handle wanting spring, warm weather, outside play and chilly temperatures? I remember many of those types of springs in Oregon and Utah and six kids under the roof. That can make a mom get creative. Does anyone want to share a successful idea.
I'm glad I got to celebrate a spring in Georgia with J&C and family. The Macon Cherry Blossom Festival was especially fun. I do remember wanting to sit in the sunshine though since it was chilly and breezy-that was great for our kite flying in the afternoon.
When we were here it reminded me a bit of a tiny Saturday Market. Oh, I love Portland's Saturday Market. I can hardly wait for a summer day at Saturday Market. WHO'S ON BOARD WITH ME FOR SATURDAY MARKET THIS SUMMER? I know we will be having fun, busy times with Em's wedding but please, just one day.
I love what I perceive as the attitude of this gal. Spring...well let's get out and take a hike, oh and put my puppy in my backpack too. Oh, it's snowy. Okay. I'll put my cute hat on, maybe it would be one of Linny's originals. I would definitely do this!!! Oh dear, I better be careful because this is making me puppy hungry. You know I'm so passed (or is that past) the baby hungry stage of life so I get puppy hungry. I spent too much time online a couple weeks ago searching golden doodle puppies.
Well, I don't have a snowy spring situation so easy for me to talk about attitude. Here is what my surroundings look like now. Some might have a hard time with spring being so warm and prickly. I do not.

Here's a really good way to celebrate spring, enter MT's doll give away contest. Win a free, original doll. Check it out. Celebrate today. Bye, I have to go celebrate by walking outside and inhaling deeply the orange blossoms.
