It feels like summer is here. Last week we were enjoying the sun and playing in the front yard. The boys had a great time with their Easter squirt guns and climbing the plum tree.
It's one of those beautiful spring days in the Sacramento Valley. The sky is clear, the air is cool, and then sun is bright.
Spring was always one of my favorite times growing up in Alaska. I remember making pretty Easter eggs with my mom; the ones where you poke two holes to blow out the yolk & whites, then decorate them. If I remember correctly, we hung the eggs on a bare tree branch which was displayed in some sort of a vase. How pretty would these butterflies be hanging from a little tree or branch! So many projects, so little time. I found this picture at Ali Edwards Flicker site. She has a link with the directions below her photo.
Happy Spring!
Jacob has always been a builder as well as one to take things apart. As he has grown up it has been fun to watch him rip open a new Lego set, sit down, and at times, spend over an hour silently building. The intensity of his concentration amazes me sometimes.
