I love the winter snow and cold... but I also love to see the cold go and the spring showers bringing the flowers and green grass. I love when we start working on bringing the pool in and getting our plants out.
We start talking about what to plant in the garden and what flowers need to be replanted around the back patio.
The hummingbirds have already started coming around looking for a drink... large butterflies are hanging around the backyard..of course our Cardinals have been around for a while as we have kept bird seed available for them during the frost!
It is an amazing time of year! We went to a little plant nursery in Denison yesterday- I wanted to take home several plants... I love to make the backyard just feel like an Oasis around the pool to share with family and friends... hopefully we will get a break in the rain soon to start really working on those things...
In the meantime, the front flowers have made their appearance... Iris, Indian Hawthorne, Roses... so pretty!
April is also testing in Texas schools... it is done in our elementary schools today... so now students and teachers alike can take an opportunity to breathe a little easier! They did a great job of preparing and students appeared to work hard in our classrooms and on the computers...
After a day of testing it is good just to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and watch the birds and butterflies and see the sweet flowers!
