So Much for Spring.







We had a late ice/snowstorm Saturday that has slowed down the blooming of our shrubs and trees. I don't know exactly how much snow we got, but we were lucky...we had a blizzard warning with up to 2 feet of snow in the forecast and most of that went southwest or northeast of us. We just got mostly ice.

The good news is that as of this afternoon it was almost completely melted and even though all of the blossoms on our trees are gone, I'm sure that they will leaf out soon. I did cover our lilac bushes, because I couldn't bear to think of a whole year without the lovely lilacs. They seem to have fared well, I'll post pics when they bloom :)

Ellie's New Toy

Here we have the cute little girl pushing something in her stroller...





What could it be, that beloved toy she's playing so nicely with?



Why, it's Log!

Spring!

After being sick for most of the past week, we were playing outside this afternoon and I noticed these on our bushes:




I love spring!



Anna does, too.
