I Love Spring I Love Spring and I Don't Care Who Knows It
April 12, 2010 
The day began with photography, and the day ended with photography. In between I worked outdoors, preparing flower beds and pots, with my husband and children right along side. Besides an aching back, does it really get any better than that?
Not for me.
I love Spring.
I love lazy dogs basking in sunshine.
I love the promise of new flower beds.
I even love lazy dogs laying in my new flower bed.
For now, that is.
Until the flowers are actually planted.
I love adirondack chairs that have just come out of the shed...
...and watering cans at the ready.
I love new packages of sidewalk chalk...
...and rhubarb peeking through the soil at me.
I love bird feeders that wait for some customers...
...and I even love these goofy little things that dangle off the trees, even if I don't know what they are.
(Does anybody know what they are, by the way?)
I love spring.
I just thought you should know that.

Wow, I can't believe how much Spring you have. It hardly seems fair but I think you might be hogging it all.
I think your flower beds are going to look fabulous! I too, LOVE the smell and feel of dirt.
Uh, I have no idea what that hangy down thing is on the tree, but it looks slightly disturbing.
Spring rocks!
Love the dog house... my kids want to build one for Ruby Otis too. : )
I love all your pictures! And all your pots! We're getting spring showers here today! Coming down pretty darn good too! Have a good day!
I placed a few plants and flowers out a week or so ago... (I'm in Houston, so we get things started a little earlier down here.) ... and I feel such joy every time I water in the evening!
I haven't killed anything, yet! Woo-hoo!
Can't wait to see how pretty your pots look when the flowers are blooming!
How wonderful!! :-) Can't wait to see all the flowers in bloom.
I wish I could grow rhubarb. I've never looked into it but I always see wonderful desserts featuring it. Love the photos.
