Signs of Spring

Good morning!  I cannot believe that it is Saturday already.  What a whirlwind week!  I have been chasing deadlines all week, between running here and there on outside appointments for work. 

I have to admit though that yesterday I was thrilled to be on the road!  What a beautiful day!  The sun was shining and the drive was just gorgeous. Then I got to visit a small farm.  18 horses, a lot of dogs and PUPPIES!  I was invited in to sit at their kitchen table as we talked.  I could live in that home.  Puppy barking and dog dishes.  The lady was embarrassed because the house wasn't perfect, but I felt right at home.  Of course I had two dogs run up right away to visit. Such fun.  I will attach a picture of the puppies as soon as I get it uploaded. 

And the people...they were so warm and welcoming.  It was such a good reminder. I could tell they work hard.  But they love what they are doing.  It was very evident. 

And so, that lovely drive and then visit, and the fact that I am finally over my cold that lasted for five weeks, really made me start looking for signs of Spring.  I found that our little daffodils that are in a pot on our front porch have started to bloom.  Next to our porch is a little patch of herbs and the chives are showing their heads.  There are BIRDS!  There are lots of birds around here.  We have a crazy, wild green belt behind our house and the birds congregate there at this time of year.  So lovely to hear their song first thing in the morning. 

I think it is time to start looking at the garden and getting a few things planted.
