Happy first day of spring! This morning, youngest daughter and I took husband to the airport. He is one of the ones who has to work during this crazy time. It's hard to relax knowing he's out there and could possibly get sick even though he is taking precautions. Someone posted on Facebook this game:... Continue Reading →
April Magnolias and Snow
This was yesterday. ...and this is today. Lots of places are closed today including my girls' dance studio.

A Chilly Spring Morning
When I stepped outside this morning I was expecting clear skies and the air to be slightly warmer than normal but instead saw clouds and was bitten by the chill.

Signs of Spring
Spring is so consistent. I wish I was more like her. Kylie loves life and nature. She was so happy to take a photo with this daffodil peaking through the mulch.
