Since I've Been Gone

I finished my paint job,

and today it feels good to be home again!

Nine days of painting at somebody else's house...

all I could think about was how nice it 

would be if someone was doing my 

spring cleaning!!

The wind has been howling (what's new)

for the last couple days,

but today might be the day I've been 

waiting for to hang out sheets 

and wash some very dirty windows!!

Here's a little recap of the last two weeks

since I've been away...

Spring is here to stay and it feels and smells wonderful!...

Some of the migrating geese have 

chosen their spots to set up and nest...

The cranes have arrived...

we spotted them on a foggy day,

feeding in last year's corn field...

We took a little road trip to Kansas City...

Our grand-daughter turned two,

all of her little friends showed up

and at the end of the day

Grandpa and Grandma

looked about like this old sedan...

The girls were excited

and we all had a great time!

Trees were blossoming in K.C., the forsythias

 were about done!  Strangely though, our yard

is just as green as down there and our lilacs

are pushing their luck this early!!

Signs of spring everywhere...

Time to bring some freshness indoors

and hike down a country road without a coat!!

Spread some sunshine today!

Hugs,
