A New Spring






































Spring has arrived. We've got dogwoods in full bloom, grass and trees turning green, birds chirping loudly, and other plants and flowers showing their colors.

We can go outside without freezing. The kids can run and play and slide and swing. Scott and I can sit under the big tree out back and watch them. We can feel the warm sun and enjoy being outdoors again at long last.

And I can discover, while preparing supper, that a little boy with pockets will find a way to bring some of the great outdoors inside with him. And these surprise guests get the ride of their lives in the back of a bright red fire truck. I know, earthworms in the kitchen...not so lovely. But it comes with the territory. It is what it is.
