There's no place like home and none more pleasin'

Apparently winter didn't kill everything at the old house...including our continued hope that someone will eventually want to live there and buy it!

I love these tulips and hope to replant them at our new home....maybe some of the non-blooming ones will come back....does anyone know if that can happen?

It had rained the nite before and the sun was shining so beautifully

This is our survivor dogwood - at least 3 trees have fallen on it and taken various parts, but it continues to bloom and hopefully will recover on the other side

My friend Patti is an artist and asked to boys to pose for a painting idea she has - her poor puppy may never be the same since Jack was wild but I think she's really good, so maybe she can salvage something from the attempts ;-)

The redbud is starting to bloom, and providing good eats for the flying ones

Posing is hard work, so we met some friends for lunch and ice cream - the boys chose cotton candy BLUE - can you tell?

They had a blast using the sweet art set to decorate the birdhouses Ms. Patti gave them - did I say they LOVE this set of cool artist tools?!

The boys played in the culvert, rode bikes and scooters, and Jack even brought me sweet purple flowers and a smile this afternoon. Then we went to the library, and lost Harry amidst the animals. It was a beautiful day!
