signs of spring

when i was in college, spring break always came at the end of february. while i really welcomed the break from the day to day rigors, i never did understand 'spring' break in february!


maybe it would have all made more sense if i had spent some time in texas.


we have had weeds and new shoots of grass poking up all over the place over the past week or so. all of the bushes are also budding and the trees are getting greener. so we spent the day (at least the part that nathan was down for a nap) cutting the grass, pruning bushes, and just plain old enjoying the warmth of the sun. we really like being able to spend time outside. it is nathan's favorite place to be. we will have to be sure to save some 'outside time' for when he wakes up. :)

ps - don't be too upset if you are reading this from WI and not yet seeing spring. we are surely in for at least another bout of cold days before spring is here for good.

The grass is beginning to show up (as the snow melts ) and the bushes have little frozen bids in them..and I don't have to trim either of them just yet
