Spring!

Does anyone else love being a parent more in warmer weather? I sure do!

My kids are so much happier playing outside than they are inside. They can burn off energy and wear themselves out, instead of asking to watch a movie. And play in the dirt, and for little boys, it just doesn't get much better than that. When they are happy it's so much easier to be the mom!

Plus I get in a "winter funk" by the time February hits, and it's just not pretty. The days are short and so is my temper.

Once the sun starts shining again and I can smell spring in the air, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and my spirits rise and life is good again. Everything starts to turn green and the flowers start their blooming. Ah, Spring! That's where we are today friends!

Spring...always so special.The smell of lilacs blooming, bright little crocuses peeking out of the Earth, longer daylight hours, Yea! There was a Memorial Day in 1955 that it actually did a Spring snow! Regardless, life is a gift. Each chapter in life we won't scribbble on it or throw it away, but enjoy!
