Signs of Spring

Signs of Spring include:

~ Mom is clearing off flowerbeds.

~ Dad is hauling away the piles she creates (after Regi enjoys a night curled up in them - his favorite kind of bed!)

~ The grass is growing, and Dad has started mowing.

~ Elsa and I soak up the anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, detoxifying properties of a day of sunshine after many clouds.

~ Meals are better on the deck.

Taco-seasoned buffalo on lettuce, topped with homegrown, homemade salsa, a drizzle of olive oil, and some nutritional yeast to supplement iron.

~ The view is cheered by an early Mother's Day gift of pansies. Elsa and I have an "in" with a greenhouse that doesn't actually open till Monday. :-) (Maren and Jason's!)

~ The butterflies like Mom's pansies too!
