Spring has Arrived

Our dogwood is in bloom, and it looks quite lovely this year. The Carolina Jessamin is a fluffy yellow-gold mass above our rose arbor. And as our garden beds are empty, this is surely the beginning of spring. The heat is in the high 70's, and I imagine we will be complaining about the temperature before long, but for now the kids love to play outside without bundling up.

With the time change yesterday, the children (especially the 2 year old) wasn't convinced it was time for bed. "Wake up time, mommy", was the reason. Last year I was better at this and had started adjusting for the time change about a month in advance.

The wind chimes, sparkling lights and soft leaves call me back outdoors to play.
