Even if we are snowed on again, at least we have some spring air in these walls.<\/p>\n<p>Spring air is so wonderful.  It makes you realize how stuffy you have been feeling all winter.  It gets you dreaming and planning.  My husband made me chuckle as he went on and on about summer today.  I had to remind him to relax, this is just early spring, there are many months before summer yet.  He was like a kid!  You can&#8217;t help but feel like a kid in spring.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of kids!  My children had so much fun in the yard today.  They set up a table and took out some of their stuffies for the first picnic of the year&#8230; a spring picnic of snow balls and pine cones&#8230; the stuffies didn&#8217;t seem to mind the menu at all.<a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_It9KDpK7ADM\/S526b2QqfsI\/AAAAAAAAGfU\/tALJubFgpY0\/s1600-h\/DSC07448.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_It9KDpK7ADM\/S526b2QqfsI\/AAAAAAAAGfU\/tALJubFgpY0\/s320\/DSC07448.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448716111772810946\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>I couldn&#8217;t help but change my blog header to a snap shot of my three oldest at play&#8230; it says it all&#8230; all about spring&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>TTFN<br \/><!--Session data--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Call it hoping&#8230; I shall officially call it reality&#8230; a body knows what spring sounds like (like chickadees and sparrows bursting in song); tastes and smells like young air; looks and feels like sunny days melting the snow into muck and rivers of water down the street!
