SPRING IS HERE!!!! I love the changing of the seasons. I grew up in Las Vegas, and - well - we had Hot, Hotter and Rain as our seasons. Living in Idaho has given me true winter, spring, summer and fall. I hear people complain about the winter all the time - wishing it wouldn't last so long. But these are the same people that complain if there is not enough water during the summer to water their lawns. Go figure.
Anyway - today is the official first day of Spring. Last year we still have mounds of snow and it was not sunshine and warmth at all. Today it will be in the high 5o's and sunshine. Time to clean out the yard and garden from all the dead plants/weeds the snow covered. Time to clean off the porch and set out the chairs. Time to dust off the motorcycle and ride - ride - ride!
Next week is my DH's birthday. He turns 39. I don't think he is ready to be almost 40. I don't think either of us feel like we should be inching our way to 40 --- well more like a dead run. I turn 36 this year - so I have a few years till I face it. But in the spirit of youth I am planning a cake and decorations that are very youthful. The theme is the Slinky. (I hope he is not reading this. tee-hee Actually he never reads this.) I will try and post pictures of everything.
Then the weekend after that is General Conference weekend. My kids also have Spring Break that weekend. So we will be heading up to West Yellowstone for 4 days. The kids are excited - and I am too. We like doing stuff together. We do not have to do big activities to entertain us. We take board games, DVD's and swimsuits (they have an indoor pool). We do not have to go on big hikes or spend money on activities. Don't get me wrong - we do those things too sometimes - but we don't HAVE to do those type of things to enjoy our time together. And for that I am very grateful.
So again - Spring is Here, (oo-oo-oo), Skies are Blue, (oo-oo-oo), Birds will sing (yeah) Like they do! Today's the Day(yeah) I'll say WOO HOO!!!! and we'll never be cold anymore! ;)
