YAY ... it's SPRING!

What I look forward to ...

GREEN grass
YELLOW tulips
PURPLE flowers on budding trees
BROWN mulch freshly placed in gardens
RED crimson clover

even ... WEEDS.  That means my grass is getting ready to start turning from it's dead looking state of brown/yellow/gray to bright GREEN and GROWING.

Yesterday I even caught a sniff of freshly mowed grass.   YUMMY!!!!!

Spring also means ...
  • capris
  • flip flops
  • t-shirts
  • less bulk in my laundry
  • 70+ degree days
  • heat goes off in the house  (lower bills ... yay)
  • gardening
  • car washing
  • bike riding
  • more walks
  • red cheeks on children who run and play more

I LOVE SPRING!!!!!!!

I am waiting unpatiently too! About my pics...I use a Canon Rebel xsi and use Picasa to edit them...I have photoshop but think it's to complicated for me to learn right now. Picasa is a free download and you can sharpen and boost the color as much as you want...that's what I did with those Curious George pics...it's really fun to use! (I also bought a 50mm 1.8 lens (under $100) so I don't have to use my flash inside...I love it!)

Great post, Elaine!

Fresh mowed grass, already? I guess things green-up a bit quicker down there in them parts. :) One thing to look forward to about moving South is shorter winters. Yea!

One of my favorite things that goes along with flip-flops -- painted piggies and pedicures!!! :) Oh how I was rich enough to get a pedicure every week. Wouldn't that be delightful?....

Hugs!

Cute post! I'm excited for spring, too, but it arrives a bit later up here (We had a dusting of snow this a.m.) Anyway, I'm still happy that it'll be here soon ... I can't wait to wear capris and sandals!

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
