What a Spring!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

What a GREAT Spring this has been! We have enjoyed almost 2 weeks of non-stop sunshine with temps into the 70's on a couple days! I think we have already had more sunny days this year than we did in all of 2008!

We have been outside taking advantage of the sunshine as often as possible. We have been going on walks in the evenings, we have done a bunch of work in our back yard / garden / flower area, we spent Sunday at a local lake sitting by the water with our books and we have been grilling dinners outside as often as possible!! The grass is starting to green up and the trees are beginning to sprout new leaves and there is just a great feeling of "summer" everywhere!

We even have stuff growing in the garden! Our chives are probably 3 inches tall already and our irises are coming up!! We will probably plant the rest of our flowers and veggies in the next couple of weeks.

We are certainly noticing the longer summer days, today the sun rose at 5:40am and it will set tonight at 10:15pm, so with over 16 hours of daylight your body always wants to be outside doing stuff!!

Here is a picture of the lake we spent Sunday at
