Marching along...

Well March is indeed marching right along.  Today was our very first day of real spring weather, it seems to me - so welcome, so glorious.  And of course I had to poke around to see how things were coming along...

...Grape Hyacinth (Muscari botryoides)-looks like they took quite a hit from the frost over the past months after an earlier warm spell...

...Hyacinth orientalis....I noticed them first poking through around Christmas time  and was thrilled now to see they survived the winter nicely, about a dozen or so stalwartly making their journey sunward...

But even more heart-warming were the birthdays of two of our dear 

grandchildren earlier this month-

 Daniel who turned 4 last week...

And Megan 8 -

Megan lined up her Webkinz - getting just the right one was part of the fun for her and us on that special day - and card for the shot.

Such precious and special moments 

with such wonderful little people as these in our lives makes our hearts sing...

Happy Birthday to you!
 We are grateful.
