spring has sprung !

we awoke this morning to a beautiful sight. . .   a sure sign that spring has sprung.  i was summoned into isabella's room first thing this morning with a ' mommy, come quick'!   to her amazement, our tree by the mailbox, the name escapes me - i call it 'the umbrella tree'.  the blossoms are a fantastic bright pink, almost fuchsia & the leaves that remain for the summer make the tree look like a huge umbrella.  i love how excited it made her to see it!  her excitement for the 'little' things is contagious & it always makes me stop & remember to slow down or we'll miss all the fabulousness that life has to offer.





she wanted a better look, so we went downstairs for a better look.  isn't it pretty?  let's hope this marks the end of the crazy, chilly weather.  i can't wait to get my hands in the dirt this year & start planting our spring flowers - soon, real soon. 

on an unrelated topic, aren't these cute?  they're tide pods !  i picked them up last weekend to try & just plopped one in my washer this morning, so i'll have to report back.  i was reluctant, because we have an he front loader, but it says that they can be used for both. . .  we shall see.  

today should be fabulous, sunny & a high of 73.  maybe spring has really sprung ??
