Breathing a deep sigh.....

 

Hello everyone! I know I’ve been MIA for the past month but things have been a little hectic and unfortunately until work was done my blog had to take a back seat. I hate it but there is only so much time in a day and I’ve missed everyone!

 

 

As you can see the snow is gone and in its place we’ve been rewarded with new life.

 

I love this about spring and how everything wakes up and gives us a show.

 

 The lily-of-the-valley is just starting to put on their show.

 

 

Lucky us we have fields of Lily-of-the-valley I wish they stayed around longer. If you’ve never smelled what a large field of these flowers smell like then you’re missing a real treat. They’re heaven sent the smell is so clean and light.

Thanks to all the snow/water we received this past winter we’re going to get a bumped crop of pears…..

 

And peaches, I guess there are some rewards to receiving so much snow. Last year was so dry our fruit trees didn’t bud out so we’re doing a happy dance this year.

 

 

 Even our crabapple tree is about to get showy, everything is jumping to life and I love it.

 

 

I want to wish each and every one of you a very Happy Mother’s Day. I wish I could give you all a big bunch of lily-of-the-valley, enjoy your special day!

 

I’ve missed you all and can’t wait to get caught up with your blogs. Be well and have a wonderful week!

Snow has Melted!

 

We’re jumping for joy around New England because the snow has melted! Yes it’s sleeting right now but it’ll melt quickly so we’re still happy spring campers! As you can see our lake has thawed and Dylan’s happily back in his beloved water!

Mister man likes to say, “ice out, dog in”! Sets my teeth on edge watching Dylan go in that water because you know its ice water…brrrrrr! We’re so thrilled the snow is gone now come on green!

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful week filled with springtime images!

Feeling Very Blessed.....

 

Nope not feeling blessed for receiving another 16 inches of this stuff on the first day of spring although I should since we’re on well water and this is a plus for us going into summer. But enough is enough already…..

 

 

Nope I’m feeling very blessed for the people in my life. Imagine getting hit with snow like above and then finding this cheerful color in your mailbox. Do you have any idea how big of a smile that spread across my face seeing that gorgeous spring green laying in our box?

 

Then opening that envelope to see more spring? Our blog friend Patricia Van Essche at PVE Design sent me this beautiful watercolor card of a cherry blossom tree in bloom letting me know that springtime would soon be here.

 

 

Not only that but she enclosed an extra card to share so we could keep spreading the joy of spring, thank you Patricia!

 

Patricia is an artist extraordinaire who painted this watercolor of Dylan to surprise Mister Man for Christmas. If any of you are looking to have a watercolor done of your favorite four legged friend or a special occasion you can always order a piece of artwork from her Etsy shop here. Or go ahead and treat yourself to springtime note cards to surprise your friends with a touch of spring. Trust me the smile it puts on people’s faces is priceless.

 

 

Everyone must have been feeling spring fever because later that afternoon after I received Patricia’s card I received this beautiful bouquet of spring flowers from Mister man!

 

The colors are everything I imagine spring looking like…. I’m a very blessed person to have so many people giving me a touch of spring!

 

Dylan dog is happy today because the skies are a stunning clear blue and we have warmed temperatures coming up this week to melt all this white stuff signaling that soon he’ll be back in his beloved forest hiking.

 

We wish you all a wonderful springtime week this coming week and spread the joy of the coming season!
