Welcome Spring!

The birds are singing around our neighborhood AND flowers are blooming!

Can we say "Hello Springtime"!?

This week has been wonderful so far. We have enjoyed warm weather and the time change too. Do you love the time change? I feel like you either love it or hate it...I love it. Just the fact that the days seem longer because it is sunny outside later into the night is wonderful. I really enjoy being able to do things outside in the evenings after dinner, like go for a walk or wash the car. It makes my days feel much more productive for some reason! Speaking of taking evening walks, we took our first one of 2012 this week on Monday night. It was so nice!

From our walk on Monday:

And some of our flowers that have bloomed this week:

Above: Our very first daffodil. I was so excited. This is the first plant that I have ever planted from a bulb and it actually grew and bloomed. Woo!

Above: That flower just screams Easter to me, maybe its the purple and white?

Above: Tulips popping up around our historical sign. Can't wait to see them flower!

As you can see there is definitely new growth in our flower beds. I could not be happier about this! When we purchased the house the landscaping wasn't bad but we did do a lot of work to get rid of some plants we didn't like. It is so nice to see that our hard work paid off. I can't wait for everything to bloom...I just know it is going to be beautiful!

Our house at the beginning of Spring:

And what post would be complete without a picture of our favorite puppy? (None in my book) Louie has enjoyed being outside more this week, too. It's fun to watch him jump and run around in the grass. He kind of stares up at the sun too, I think he likes the warmth. So cute!

Happy Wednesday!
