Spring has sprung around here. A few days ago I saw some gigantic blossoms on some trees. I think they were magnolia trees. That was so exciting!! Since then I've seen some cherry blossoms. Ahhh spring. While it is beautiful outside, it's turned a bit chilly inside. Our heat went off a few days ago, as it usually does in mid march. All the heat turns off in the city at that time. At first it was still warm inside, but now, since it's been a bit cool outside, I've had to also don a few more layers inside.

It is a quiet day here today. Good Friday- I will post something later about that. It's a special day to remember. But I'll post about that later. It has been quiet, and it's been nice. I'm going to make some vegetable soup for supper, and relax this evening. Maybe watch a movie, or maybe an episode of "Monk." I love that show.

I was going back through some pictures from last summer earlier today. We had a good time. It was nice to look back, would you like to see some of the pictures?




We ate hot dogs at this place, and looked out at the ocean. Looking at the umbrellas you'd swear you were someplace tropical. It was very serene. And the hot dogs were good.





Lilacs, can anything beat the smell?




And wildlife, we saw some wildllife...





We did a little bit of boating with friends and family....





And the flowers....

















And there were sunsets. Beautiful sunsets. Some were in the sky and one was the kind of sunset that come at the end of a life time. M's Step-Dad Don passed away while we were home last summer. Though he was sick, it still felt sudden. It was sad, but we felt blessed that we were in the country at the time.




Last summer would also be the last time we would see this little cutie. She has since gone on to that great doggie heaven in the sky.


We also saw many people last summer, family, and friends. I don't have pictures of all of them, nor do I know how people would feel about seeing their mug on my blog....so no pics of the people...but it was definately a hilight.


Just one more flower picture.......
