Here are a few more signs of spring from around our house! It has been beautiful this week!
Our neighbor's beautiful flowers!
Aren't they pretty?
I really like this one!
Our dogwood blossom
Our dogwood tree
We have had several juncos (I believe) in the last 2 weeks! I love this picture because you can really get a good look at this little guy's legs!
The lawn mower -- a picture of my newfound hobby! hee hee! If my brothers and/or dad happen to be reading this they are probably laughing about now. You see, with 2 brothers I never had to mow the grass! I did not actually mow the grass EVER until I was an adult. So, imagine my surprise (and that of everyone who knows me) when in the last month I have really ENJOYED mowing our yard! Thankfully our yard isn't too big, I can get it done in under 2 hours, but it has been something I enjoy and with it being so pretty outside, the kids just play out in the yard while I mow. (and I can't hear them fighting with each other, HA! maybe that is why I enjoy it!)
AND...just in case you are wondering...I did take these pictures on my new camera! Hip Hip Hooray!! I ended up with a Canon Powershot SX100 IS. Thanks to my friend, Michelle, who let me look at hers and play with it, I decided on this one. It has more of a zoom than any other camera in this medium price range. The zoom is 10x. And zoom is probably one of my top priorities. I played around with a few slr cameras and decided I just wasn't really wanting that...they are too heavy for me to use multiple times a day, and for my nature shots and kid shots, this is really very sufficient! And I think it takes great pictures! (and it's on sale right now at Circuit City, actually $30 cheaper than Best Buy if anyone is in the market for this camera!)
