The signs of springtime are all around us right now. It seems like overnight, after some rain and stormy weather, the sun came out and the outdoors exploded into spring. Since we are now confident there will be no more frost or snow, Mom decided to plant some flowers in our pots. We always put red flowers on the front step as they look pretty with the brick.
Bailie loves the budding lilacs on the side of the house. Mom loves to smell them.
We check in on Missy and Matt’s eggs every day. They still have not hatched. Mom snapped this recent photo of the nest when Missy was taking a break and we are pretty sure there are ten eggs, not seven. According to our calculations, they should hatch any day now.
I love the pink flowers and flowering trees. Bold pink is my very favorite.
The light pink flowers on our cherry trees are not bad, but bright is more my thing.
We see just as many white flowering trees on our walks. We tease Nelson about them looking like wedding flowers since he is so very girl crazy!
These buds are super pretty, and if you look closely, you can see the water droplets on them. Our family is not at all into plants and gardening, so we don’t know what trees/flowers most of these are, but it doesn’t matter. We enjoy just looking at them.
I helped plant the pots on the deck with pretty pink geraniums last week. They are already making themselves at home and are growing.
Sadly, Canada is on fire, so this week we don’t have much sun because of the haze from the smoke. It is pretty to look at the sun through the haze though. We are thankful that spring brings so much beauty to where we live, haze or no haze.

Your spring blossoms are just gorgeous and we can’t wait to see the baby duckies!
We really hope we get to see them. It should be any time now.
we love the springtime… and we hope for eggs-cellent birdies ;O)
We hope we get to see the ducklings after waiting all this time!
…and it has become winter in New York again.
Oh dear. No snow here, but it isn’t too warm either. We don’t like warm anyway.
Lovely photos of spring ~ the sweet doggie ‘steals the show’ though for me ~ Sweet, sweet, sweet!
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Awww, thank you.
Bailie and Madison, thanks for showing off your yard. Madison, you rock the garden helper outfit. Yes, Hopefully someday, Nelson’s dream will come true.
I enjoy helping with the flowers, no one else seems very interested in it.
You have done a very good job of helping to plant all the spring flowers, Madison.
Thank you.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my friends spring has sprung in full blooms and beautiful colors.
I love your front porch. Missy and Matt have some mighty big eggs…would I be correct in guessing they are Chickens?
Hugs Cecilia
No, they are ducks. For some reason, they thought our house would be ideal to make their nest this year.
What beautiful Spring Blooms you all have! I am also a fans of the bright pink blooms.
I sure hope Canada stops burning soon…

Now is is getting dark because of all the smoke and the air quality is red, meaning no one should be doing stuff outdoors, healthy or not. We are still going out, but we are tired of the smoke and we feel bad about all the fires.
The spring flowers look so nice!
They are so pretty right now.
My goodness, Spring is looking really nice in your neck of the woods and that’s gonna be a nice duck family. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
We hope they hatch and soon. The waiting is taking forever!
I’m glad you are having such a beautiful spring and hope the fires get put out quickly.
The haze was very bad yesterday, hopefully it won’t be as bad today.
Beautiful images. We hope Canada can get those fires under control soon. The smoke isn’t good for lots of playing outside for long. Have a lovely weekend.
Today the smoke is better. It was really bad last night, like a thick fog.
