IT'S SPRING!

There are finally signs of spring in our neck of the woods. The weather is getting nicer, the lady bugs are appearing and we have seen the first robin! Time to look for Easter dresses at the store (found some on sale!), do Easter crafts and play outside without a coat!

We collected lots of ladybugs in a jar but let them out in our tulip bed. Then we made edible nests and bunny hats. (With four granddaughters!)

It was a bit crazy!

THE LAST OF THE WINTER FUN (HOPEFULLY!)

We watched our granddaughters a couple of times this week. Thursday turned out to be sunny and warm (at least for winter, about 45 degrees) so we all went outside and spent some time in the snow that was left in our backyard. We didn't get much snow this year so we were lucky to have enough to sled in.

 Chaylee and Lillee are ready to go.

 As you can see, there is very little snow. (I loved this winter!)

 The best part was the snowball fight!

On Saturday, we drove out to our local state park to see if we could see any migrating birds. Unfortunately it is too early to see any. All we saw was the resident cat which was very friendly much to our granddaughters' delight. Our granddaughters had fun playing with the cat, sliding on the slide and throwing rocks in the river.

THANK YOU!

I've been sick for over a week with the flu that's been going around so I spent my birthday mostly in bed which isn't always a bad thing if I have a bunch of good books to read. And I got to talk to most of my children and grandchildren on the phone! Thanks for cards and phone calls from the family and friends and the delicious cake baked by my friend Carla!

A PEEK AT ALL MY DOLLS!

As you can see they are all different shapes and sizes just like real people!
