Verdant


Spring has come to Kalispell with downpours of rain.   On the upside, the grass has turned green, the flowers are blooming, and the trees are starting to leaf.  And in the true flip-flop nature of spring, the sun has warmed the last couple of days to 70 - 80 degrees.   I can not express the relief of finally feeling completely enveloped in warmth.


We are making the most of it.  Of course, the rest of the family had a head start on their tans in San Diego, so now I have to catch up.  Even Ellie is nicely colored and such an adorable little person.


She loves all her family, especially her mother and father and baby brother (she is usually one of the first to hear him start fussing), but I think Grandma has a special place in her heart.  One thing is for sure, Ellie has certainly snagged a special place in her Aunt Rachel's heart.  


And then there is my little nephew.  Look, he's smiling!  Do you see it?  So happy with his Momma.


Ashley latest fun - Instagram . . . The app where you make pictures look good by messing them up.  


One of the projects I completed while the family was in San Diego.  1000 pieces of fruit.


Dad caulking the garage so we can paint it now that the weather is warm enough.  So excited to see it getting finished!


Sunshine and flowers are certainly good for the psyche.  Happy Spring!
