Lately.

“Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"...
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...” 
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
















Ah, flowers are blooming.
The sun is shining.
Bubbles are being blown. 
There's doodling with chalk.
Sprinklers are on.
Flowers are on display in my kitchen.
More hikes and family walks.
More time in the garden.
Park days.
Family events at the local library.
  The last event was a hula party. It was fun for all ages!
Block building.- Our oldest enjoys her morning building blocks before we start her lessons.
Baby giggles and a whole lot of babbling. 
Now that our little one has mastered saying "mama" and "Dada", she
can't get enough of it. - We absolutely love it! 

How have you all been? How are you enjoying your days lately?

Welcome new readers. So happy to have you all here. 
And a big thank you to those who have been following my blog for a while.

    Hi Stephanie,
    I really love your photos. If I can't grow flowers as beautiful as yours, I can always look at yours :) Your days sound enjoyable and hope you have many more lovely Spring days. The library...can't live without it!

    I don't have any pretty flowers of my own to look at, so yours were a welcome sight tonight! Thank you.
