Spring is here


Colt has come to our house every Tuesday, Thursday and some Fridays this year while he is in kindergarten. He loves to play games on my computer. Quite often (and I don't know how he managed to do it) he would lose my desktop background. Scott would replace it for me since I don't have the know-how. The last time he had to replace the background, he put on this picture of our front yard. In the middle of the Winter, I would look out the window and see very deep snow covering the front yard and look at my desktop picture and think spring is coming this isn't going to last forever. I was amazed how it would brighten my spirits. I love flowers there is something about them that just draws me. A few weeks ago we were in Salt Lake when I saw a truck full of flowers and asked Scott if he saw them. Scott said no and we discussed the fact that you notice those things that are important to you. I remembered years a go Wade could see pigeons on the tops of tall buildings, under overpasses and in the air. I had never noticed them until he drew our attention to them. Now as an adult he raises pigeons with his children.

I have planted some annuals along with the many perennials I have and I'm looking forward to their beauty.
