Springtime Variety

Early April

DSC_6941I am enjoying springtime more than ever ~ after the l-o-n-g winter…

DSC_7222Early one morning a pair of mallards came waltzing through our yard ~ also aware that it is springtime.

DSC_7423At the end of one rainy day last week we were treated to a delicious meal by Jeff and Chris – along with her mother ~ at a local restaurant.

It was refreshing and relaxing.

Thank you.

DSC_7441As always happens ~ the sun came out again ~ bringing even more flowers to bloom.

My entire being is enjoying the love, hope, joy, warmth, rain, and flowers of springtime.
