Spring photos~A Glimpse

This spring seemed to fly by in the Christie household.  As soon as meet season for gymnastics and production season for theater ended, we seemed to be thrown into summer and it's own "busy-ness."

We enjoyed the beginning of life in the nest just outside our front door.  (*Unfortunately, we learned that was terrible placement for a nest as the neighborhood cat destroyed it. There was much sadness, even the pizza guy asked about our baby birds!)

For Mother's Day, Marc and the girls replaced the hibiscus plants from the previous year. *The deer were the culprits in this case~They ate all the buds over the winter. :(

I love the new plants! They seem to explode with color each morning.  It puts a smile on my face as I return with my morning mocha. (Still working on giving up the mocha...maybe I can begin taking a morning "cuppa tea" out to check the flowers.) One morning this week, ten flowers were open.  The six on one plant made it look like a bouquet.

Lastly, an impromptu stop at a yard sale after the Farmer's Market,  led to the discovery of this beautiful bench which looked hand-crafted to my specifications!

They were kind enough to hold it while we ran home for the checkbook and a larger vehicle to transport it home!


Add to these events, weekly trips to pick up our CSA basket, lots of yummy meals planned (some actually prepared!), lots of gymnastics practices, family gatherings, illnesses, Marc working diligently on his website in his free time, replacing our roof, home schooling, play dates... and you will have a pretty good picture of our life this spring.
