Well hello again, all! I have so many random Spring photos to share with you all, we've had plenty of sunshine mixed in with all the Spring showers we've had. And since today is a dizzly, blustery day, I decided to updae the blog!

On a walk in the woods, we found a TON of acorns. Big fat squirrels kept scurrying around chattering at us when we'd stop to admire a pile of their spent acorn shells.

When we came to a small pond I almost scared away the gorgeous blue heron sharng it with the geese! Isn't he a handsome guy? And everywhere you look, along the many rock walls that spring up from the ground here in New England, there are various daffodils all shooting up and bringing some color to the landscape.

We stopped by a friend's house to visit with their horses... It's a favorite pit-stop for the kids!

And... for me. Growing up in the country and having horses as a child leads to a life-long love...

And nothing says Spring like tiny buttercups in a field... I will admit, I look forward to the first time of the year when I can take my shoes off and walk barefoot in the grass. Feeling warm sunshine on my face and the soft grass under my feet feels like Mother Nature reminding me that the frozen winter is over and everything is coming back to life!

Is there anything that just SCREAMS Spring to you? What little nuance lets you know that warmer days are here to stay and it's probably safe to put away those wnter coats and hats?
One of the first things I seem to notice are the trees leaves beginning to bud. Even before the flowers sprout and the first blossoms arrive. The leaves pop out of the branches and begin to grow the canopy that shades us on the hottest Summer days to come.

I hope there are signs of Springs where you are too... Or that you can enjoy the signs here in my New England from wherever you are!

But just in case you needed a smile today, I've got the perfect one to share! Remember those horses I visit with?? Well, I was given the best smile from him before we left! I actually snapped a whole series of him "laughing" and smiling at me that I can't resist sharing with you. So... I'll just say Smile!!! It increases your "face" value!

No seriously...

I said SMILE!!

Ok, maybe not SO smily. Happy medium?

                                                                                Perfect!
