The Promise of Spring.


Photo-A-Day #2903

One the very first day of Spring 2013 the snow is still on the ground in places but it has started to melt. I looked around to see if I could find some sprouts and finally found a few poking up near the garage.

The new sprouts weren’t the only changes around here. On the very first day of Spring 2013 we finally put away the rest of the Christmas decorations. The kid’s trees stayed up for a little while after Christmas and then it was a little while longer and a little while longer till finally it got more than a little comical. So when I took Eva to school today Allison took down the trees. James helped and took down the glass ball ornaments. He jumped up and knocked the tree down into the ornaments. He broke a bunch of glass balls and damaged a couple other ornaments. Luckily the ones that we cared most about survived intact. Next year we’ll take them down a lot sooner.

Shoot, just looked outside, I still haven’t taken down the lights.

Enjoying the First Day of Spring

Today was an exceptionally warm day for the first day of Spring. Allison took the kids to the park and I started cleaning up the backyard. I”m doing this Spring cleanup a section at a time. So far I have all of the sidewalks cleaned as well as one half of the backyard. I’ll try and get the rest of the backyard and then start on the front later this week. Gotta get things ready for the city pickup at the beginning of April.
