A Spring Walk
It is purple and pink and green all over here, and it smells so good-the lilacs are in full bloom.
I could stand at the end of this driveway for a full hour just sniffing in the smell.
Our neighbors down the street raise chickens. They are always wandering the yard and crossing the street and I love it.
Wow ~ that last photo is a killer!…love her big, blue eyes! Need to submit that to a contest. Second to her, I have to say your grass is quite impressive…it looks like a plush carpet, Janey doesn't know what she is missing!
The chicken made me laugh after all those blossoms! Here in Holland we're in the next stage with al trees in those immensely delicate green colors. Lovin'it!
oh those eyes!!!
so wish we had a lilac tree near by!:)
but you're right…everything is so green and lush right now, I love it.
have a happy day sarah
Such a sweet little face- what a doll your Janey is!
I don't think I ever meet a little one who did like the feel of grass! I like that you captured her feelings about in a picture, so cute.
i miss lilac bushes!! we don't have them in FL!! Enjoy their lovely fragrance for me!!
Lilac bushes smell simply amazing, don't they?! Your Janey is one beautiful little girl.
She is PRECIOUS!
We're still waiting for our lilacs to bloom here in WI, I can't wait! Definitely a wonderful spring smell. Janey's grass picture is priceless! Enjoy the weekend.
oh wow, gorgeous! baby and flowers! 🙂
Your daughter has the most amazing blue eyes. So does Patrick. Love the pics and the flowers – springtime has come late to CO, still waiting for our trees to bloom. 🙂
Lovely. It's all so lovely 🙂
Janey looks just like the female version of Patrick, it's awesome!
I would love to plant some lilacs! Our jasmine is blooming and it smells heavenly. Love the picture of Janie. I remember the first time our girls sat/walked in the grass barefoot…it was quite the experience!
My youngest daughter hated the grass when I would set her in it – she also went on to refuse to crawl the normal way and instead pulled herself along like a little crab. I eventually took her to a wonderful physical therapist who deems that she was a "high sensory child" and she didn't like the feel of things on her hands or knees or feet – we set to work exposing her to all kinds of sensory stimulation from scrubbing with soft brushes on her knees to playing with yogurt on her highchair tray to setting her in containers of pinto beans and rubbing the beans on her legs – she would holler and scream and hated it but eventually she did crawl and I will say that she continues to be a "high sensory" child in her pickyness with food, sounds, bright lights, clothes, textures, temperatures. Anyway, not to say Janie will be like that but her facial expression sure does remind me of my girl in the grass at that age. Your spring is beautiful – kind of like mine in the Pacific Northwest! Your photography always draws me back to your blog… beautiful and simple… and the Buff Orpington chicken is lovely.
HER EYES!!! Jackson is sitting over my shoulder and he said, "she is the cutest thing!"
Happy Friday.
Such lovely pictures…. I think I'd have to agree with Janey–I don't like the feel of grass too much, either. 🙂
All of my babies hated the grass! That brought back so many memories. 🙂 Janey is just such a doll Sarah. So beautiful. And you are at such a fun baby stage with her. Makes me want another one!
ah she is just adorable 🙂
She is a beauty! Yay for the upcoming summer. 🙂
