Spring is in the air




We've gotten some pretty good rains this past while with more expected for the weekend, so things are starting to green up a bit. The peach tree is blooming and I'm hoping we will finally get a peach crop. So far we've lost to ants, frost and birds. Maybe it's our turn this year. My most exciting news is that Brian is painting our kitchen tomorrow. I know- very exciting. I can almost see you doing the cartwheels from here. We picked out colors tonight. It will still be a pretty neutral color since the counter top is whites and offwhites and the cupboards are white, but we will finally get a washable paint. The house was done in matte paint which means everything stains the walls. Then we added kids to the mix- (expert wall stainers) and our kitchen decor quickly became an ongoing wall-sized compilation of meals gone by. We could call it creative, hands-on art or just disgusting. Now we will have some kind of paint named: honey pot, orange mist, almond whip or french pastry (no joke- it would really be cheaper to just give them food, spread it evenly, call it one of the above and seal it with gloss- but NO Brian wants to be professional about it)- ha,ha. I'm really excited.

We still seem months away from blossoms on trees. Wow - how nice to see them! Just to know it is spring somewhere and that it must be coming our way too.
Of course the kitchen paint is exciting too.

No blossoms here either,but at least there's no snow! I heard the robins singing outside this morning so I guess it is spring.

That is the first time that I have seen what a peach tree looks like in bloom.
