Dontcha feel the love...

Here is a man who doesn't like his photo taken. Who is tired of being bugged by his wife who is playing photographer while he is working in the yard. Dontcha just feel the love...



On a good note... he does love his mother...


And she loves our boy, who is always there to help grandma.


The family is having so much fun doing spring cleaning in the yard. Our yard looks so much better than it has in the past. It feels bigger and less closed in with the blackberry bushes gone (we still have our secret picking crop hidden where only we know where they are). So thank you Grandma and the man who doesn't want his picture taken for all your hard work the past few weekends.

My babies have all left me...

The last puppy has found a home. And as happy as I should feel that he is in an awesome home, I am a little sad that he is no longer here. There is such a spirit that puppies add to the family. And now the house is calmer. I should relish that, but I miss his fuzzy face, his energy and enthusiasm to learn everything there is about life.

Here he is on his last day at our house...

I LOVE SPRING!

Shout it out! Spring is finally here. There is a different smell in the air, and the flowers are beginning to bloom. The days are progressively getting longer. We are seeing less cloudy days and more SUNSHINE! Our plum tree is loaded with tiny pink blossoms. We've been working to clean up the yard to prepare for all the new growth. This weekend Ed and his mother took down a couple of overgrown trees, trimmed off the bushes, and did a general clean up of the yard. They have even more plans for next weekend. I got to play photographer (although, I did do some weeding, cleaned the house, went to the grocery store and cooked dinner while they were working outside). Here are a few of the flowers in our yard...
