Spring. Almost.

Every day Ella asks me, 'Now is it Spring?' I tell her just a few more days. She sees little buds bloom flowers on the trees and tells me she is certain the season has changed. Maxwell asks if Spring means he'll get to ride his motto (quad) more because it will stay light later. I tell him yes and he gives me that smile.

I forgot how much I love taking pictures. I spent five minutes taking snapping these, sure that none of them were good, but I always enjoy pulling them up on my computer the next day. Last night we pulled out plastic, empty, Easter eggs and it kept the kids busy for hours. It's always the simple things. Like letting little girls carry umbrellas, on sunny days.

SPRING:
 'a. The season of the year, occurring between winter and summer, during which the weather becomes warmer and plants revive, extending in the Northern Hemisphere from the vernal equinox to the summer solstice and popularly considered to comprise March, April, and May.

b. A time of growth and renewal.'

 

To an early Spring, and the promise of growth and renewal.
