It's May! Let the flowers bloom, we need to see green and color.

Well, we are seeing green like CRAZY and flowers everywhere.  Who knew or believed it could happen again after our cold winter.  Loving it to the max.  Makes us want to be outside all the time and we were, on Memorial Day weekend while visiting with family.  Everyone did their thing or not, whatever their desire.  Baby swing, regular swing, sand box, digging for worms and bugs in the black garden dirt, riding bikes and scooters, playing kick ball, bad mitten, bocce ball, flying kites, going on walks, wii Mario Kart, cooking, eating outside and inside, around the fire and standing up.  Cocktails and deep thoughts shared around the fire at night with children were peeping out the windows at us  adults.  It was a great time!

Nothing like sharing a big bowl of potato chips with cousins.
