i believe...

...with my whole heart that spring is arriving.



i don't know about you but green is my new favourite colour...
i have missed you my dear sweet hope~filled friend.



i hung this sign up for christmas but it has reminded me time and again
to just hang on till spring gets here...we are finally seeing signs of spring everywhere.



little white violas have started blooming amongst the evergreens.




the sky is blue more days now.

and looking up though what still feels like barren branches ...

beauty and life are emerging.

we have had an unusually wet winter and spring has started with many rainy days too.

with such a cold winter we still have plenty of

firewood...it might just have to be used up on

the fire pit...outdoors.
okay by me.

there is so much work to be done...where does one start?

we have put up a few new bird houses...the martins are going to love

their new apartment living quarters.

i am still looking for the perfect spot for this red and white house.

of course no matter what i am doing outdoors i always have

eyes on me.

rowan(ethan's huskey) and lylah (jesse's aussie).

always wondering what the crazy lady with the camera is up to.

stuffing for nesting has been put out in the

natural bird houses and many little takers come.

with new signs of life/green everywhere...it is time for some pruning.

sprucing up...a little here and there.

buds are almost as pretty as blooms.

lilacs are budding nicely...i need more of these.

even a yard full of dandelions and clover doesn't distress me because it's alive.

as spring is working hard to emerge...abbey is hard at work

on her newest ballet...a midsummer night's dream.

she has lots of practises each week.

performances are in april.

....with my whole heart i know that spring is arriving.

i am renewed, i am thankful...i am full of hope.

i believe.
