Here comes Peter Cottontail...

When David and I returned home from the Easter weekend with our families, Spring had "sprung" in our yard! What a delight to come home to!


The small pink buds on this tree, while beautiful, attract a serious amount of bees....when I get out of my car, I can hear them humming! We are ready for them move on!


I got this beautiful orchid from David's grandmother's house this past weekend. The Griffin family gathered together to divide up her things and I made off with some beautiful plants. She had a charming little sunroom filled to the brim with violets, orchids, ivy, and a plethora of green houseplants.


Sadly, the daffodils are almost done blooming, and I cant help but gather up whats left for us to enjoy indoors!



My herb garden is on its way!



Just in time for the Master's, we have azalea blooms popping up around our yard!



Our hydrangeas haven't bloomed yet, but I couldn't help including this photo from last summer. Once our bushes begin bearing these beautiful blooms, we'll have enough to cut fresh ones well into the fall.

David and I are really lucky to have our parents in the same town, especially when it comes to holiday gatherings. We were able to be with both families this past weekend, and it worked out perfectly. The Hardin Easter Egg Hunt was Saturday night. On Sunday, the Griffin family lunch was at Vicky and Grady's house which is next door to my parent's house where the Coody family gathered! We just walked across the yard!



We ladies couldn't resist a photo with our sweet Datee on Easter Sunday!



And in true form, the boys needed one too! Handsome men, right!



My siblings and I are blessed beyond measure with our first cousins on BOTH sides. The Childers + Coodys on my Dad's side, and the Duggan crew on my Mom's side. We missed Ivy and Chandler, but were tickled to have Gracie and Hugh with us at Baboo and Gongaman's house for the Easter Egg Hunt!
