spring has sprung in middle tennessee!

ah spring!

t.willie loves dandelions. he likes them when they're yellow. he likes them when they're gray and fuzzy. he often brings me bouquets of them. the yellow ones are nice, the gray- not so much! and, apparently, he likes rubbing them on his face. he said he was smelling them, but with his mouth?? don't ask me....he's weird but we like him!


the weather has been mostly beautiful here in the last few weeks. our daffodils bloomed in late february, now we have redbud and dogwood and tulips- oh my!! 

 my parents live more out in the country than we do. it's beautiful in their valley. here are some pics:





this is definately THE BEST time of year to visit tennessee. it's gorgeous!
so if any of you are planning a visit, come in the spring! ya'll come!!

grateful today for:
1. the sunshine
2. the blue sky
3. dandelion bouquets brought by little blonde boys

I started the blog at the request of friends and family . . . I do get emails and texts from friends but not to many comments on the blog yet! If you try anything I hope it turns out good!! Thanks again!!! Your photos are gorgeous! and your grandson is adorable! I wish I would have written more when our kids were little! They grow so fast!
