Signs of Spring!!

Ahhhh . . . the weather this past weekend was beautiful; upper 40's on Saturday and upper 50's on Sunday (I know, that still sounds cold to some of you southerners). But with a bright sun and clear blue sky, it was plenty warm enough for us northerners to enjoy some early signs of spring . . . . .


birds chirping


buds emerging cautiously




someone hammering


being outside without a coat


a woodpecker pecking


(woodpecker photo by Noah)


windows open for fresh air


the smell of meat on a grill


bike ride to the park


and, most importantly for some members of this family, the trampoline is back up!





I do have one question though - if the grass is still mostly brown and lifeless, WHY are there already green, healthy-looking weeds in our vegetable garden??!
