Tiny wooden painted eggs.

I love putting them out every Spring!

I am giddy when the "first of flowers,"
begin to bloom outside and inside our home each Spring.

This is what I never tire of watching!
 Pink tulips and hyacinth blooming in the kitchen. 

And putting the yellow daffodils,
in Aunt Juanita's beautiful daffodil vase.
It makes me think of her.
She loved gardening.

"Spring,"

Juanita Harwell Carlson, 1969

She was an artist, 
trained by Hall Diteman 
in Billings Montana School of art.  
Though tiny, 3"by 3" on wood,
it is my favorite

In our garden

  the beauty of Spring is in vivid color.
New blooms appear each day. 

Colored by God's paintbrush.

So exciting to see the flowers 
BLOOM!

Our Dogwoods and Red Bud Trees! 

"Romeo and Juliet" 
William Shakespeare
First day of Spring? 
If my memory serves me it was definitely Springtime.

  

It was Springtime for us.

Our 10th Wedding Anniversary, in Paris.
My Romeo, Randall snapped this photo. 
I was standing under a tree packed with
 spring blossoms next to the Eiffel Tower.
