We returned from a little trip to South Carolina this weekend to some of the first signs of spring. I went with a friend, our four girls and my mom to a homeschool convention and we had a great time! Today we were back to our Monday routine, along with getting the house back to normal and somewhere around six loads of laundry. We had rain and thunderstorm warnings all day, but somewhere around dinner time the sun came out and afterwards we all ran outside for a breath of fresh, (almost) spring air. Forsythia bushes are in full bloom and Bradford Pears are covered in white blossoms... the birds are chirping and the days are getting warmer... I think spring is in the air!

Thank you to all who entered the giveaway for the amazing grain sack package that Ann from On Sutton Place put together. I know we both appreciated each and every lovely comment!
The randomly drawn winner of the giveaway is Cristi Copeland! Congratulations!
Have a great week!
Poo, I didn't win :) Lovely signs of spring in your neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteI love Huck!
ReplyDeleteI keep bringing in forsythia branches, but they just go right to green leaves. No yellow blossoms here for me and I'm not sure why. Glad you are enjoying some! We're probably a month from fruit blossoms starting here. Our wild plums are usually the first to bloom.
I love these first days of Spring--even if my bulb shoots are getting sprinkled with snow. There is hope!
Andrea, that photo of Huck is so adorable. OMGOSH you can't even see his little eyes. I love it. So so sweet!

Wow, what a world of difference. We had snow all day today and no signs of spring just yet. Beautiful pictures, I can't wait! Do you homeschool as well right now, it's such an adventure :) !!??!
ReplyDeleteI will be homeschooling Jillian, who turns 5 next month, in the fall! I am excited... but I am sure it will be quite the adventure! :-)
DeleteHuck is a gorgeous dog! Those sweet girls of yours are beyond precious. Love seeing these pictures of them.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I LOVE these pictures of my girls!!! And Huck too, of course! Wasn't that little bit of sunshine the best thing about the whole day?! :-) ~ Mom ~
ReplyDeleteAwwww, I'm so jealous of your spring like weather! We're having more snow and windy here today but I'm longing for spring. Adorable photos by the way!
ReplyDeleteJust like Robin, I'm so jealous of your spring weather too...we're both in Minnesota and it felt more like January here today than March. Huck is so darn cute!!
ReplyDeleteYour girls and huck are too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThose girls are just so darling. I really love seeing pictures of them. And congrats to Ann- She is a great gal! She will be so excited- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI'm riding out yet another ice storm and envying you your forsythia blooms! Huck sure wouldn't need a haircut up here.
ReplyDeletecongrats, cristi! i just love the pics of your 3 little darlings, andrea:) can't wait to see the coop!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Spring is dipping her toe into the waters of Tennessee both in your neck of the woods and mine! Winter may stay as a guest for at least one more week, but at least we have hope of sunshine and warmth from those glorious sun rays. Beautiful images of your girls and sweet puppy!
ReplyDeleteThe girls are just so adorable!....and our Forsythias here are in gorgeous full bloom too....along with so many of the trees...just love this time of year...but not the pollen!!....Can't wait to see the Chicken House reveal!!...so wonderful that you can have one!!
ReplyDeleteWe've been having spring, too--isn't it wonderful? Last week all the trees started blossoming. Think your photos of your girls capture how we all feel when the sun comes through again. Just LOVE those dirt smudges on Loretta's knees. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am really envious of those blossoms on your trees. And the forsythia?! Oh my. We're still stuck in the depths of a cold, frozen winter here in PA. Despite the fact that tomorrow is the first day of spring! Can't wait for those blossoms to show their beautiful little faces around our yard!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures and beautiful children!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner of the contest! That's exciting. Your spring pictures are making me so jealous! It's like December here in west Michigan. Lots of snow and a nice 7 degrees. :) Gotta love the midwest. Have a great week! ~ Jamie
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet photos! Congratulations to the lucky winner!!

Precious girls, precious smiles, precious tree blossoms...and that dog cracked me up. Thank you for posting, I needed this today.
ReplyDeleteYour girls are so precious and adorable! Thank you for sharing. And no, Huck's hair looks just fine! The fluffier the better! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos! My grandma's neighbor has a gorgeous forsythia bush and I always know spring is coming when I see the bright yellow blooms. I really want to plant some at my place. Your girls are so cute and I love how the little one has dirty knees :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos. Your girls are adorable and Huck is so cute!!
Be blessed!

I can't believe how big that puppy has gotten!
ReplyDeleteNo spring here so it is nice to see yours! :) Those girls just get cuter every day
What beautiful faces. So much life and love all over them.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Cristi and thank you so much for hosting.

Wow beautiful weather we and three inches of snow here but it melted rather fast. You photos are great! Can't wait to see the finished chicken house once it's done! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winner! We're still in the midst of winter here (30 cm yesterday and 5 more today) but I love seeing your forsythia. Can't wait for mine to make an appearance too C:
ReplyDeleteLoving those spring pictures! I'm quite ready for spring here even tho we haven't really had much "winter" weather. At least we haven't had hardly any snow. It's just that by the time the end of March comes I'm sure most of us are ready for some warm sunshine & new green life showing up!
