It's a gorgeous day here in the river hills! Woke up to thunder and rain, which turned into sunshine and warm, warm air. Getting cloudy again, but that's Spring for ya! We didn't spend as much time outside as we should have, but we did venture out and about some. Jonah and Buddy got some much needed run and play time in.



While Chester enjoyed the sunshine. That dog can spend more time doing absolutely nothing, lying in the sunshine, than any dog I've ever seen. He's so happy just soaking up the sun!



Can you see the GREEN buds on this bush? I don't know what kind it is, but who cares... it's giving birth to leaves!!!! : )





Look! Tulips sprouting up out of the ground, in a gorgeous green color! No flowers yet, on the tulip plants, but they will come.

Here is the single, gorgeous crocus that is blooming in my mom's yard. It's the only one that came up this year. It looks so brave standing there, all alone, fending off the chill in the air and sharing it's glory with us!

I'm trying hard to stay focused on the blooming crocuses in my life, and not the stress and drama that will not go away. I'm trying hard to stay positive, I'm trying to stay focused, but good grief!, there are people in my life who make it very, very difficult to do those things. I am at a loss as to how to remedy the situation, without, well, nevermind...... I just need to figure out how to handle all of this so that I, and my family, can move on and be happy and enjoy life.

I'm trying.
