Spring is Here!

I always love this time of the year. The weather starts to warm up a little, trees and flowers are starting to bloom. For the past couple of days I have been able to have the windows open for the greater part of the day, which I love! Peach and pear trees have started blooming. You can see the buds coming out on so many other trees. Ahhh, spring!


I get so excited about seeing my flowers growing and starting to bloom. I started seeing the daffodils blooming in the end of January (in the Great Smoky Mountains by the Sugarland Visitor Center). In the next couple of weeks the dogwood trees in our area will be in full bloom. This is even more exciting now that we will be living on the Dogwood Trail. I am eager to see what kinds of dogwoods we will have. I am a little partial to the pink dogwoods, although I like both the pink and white.

Spring this year will also be very special since we will be having another little blessing in the form of our daughter. I know that I am very excited about her coming and last night we even heard about how her older brother, Butch, is also eagerly anticipating her arrival. In art class at school they are focusing on spring and he said that on his project this week he put "spring with my sister." How sweet is that!
