Green. And Yellow.

Traveled to New Hampshire (1 1/2 hour drive) last weekend, and was jealous of all the green the trees had on their branches.  Five days later, and Maine has tiny leaves of its own.  Hurray, spring!

The previous caretakers of the property were avid gardeners, and I have a feeling they loved daffodils as much as I do.  I've had multiple vases of my favorite flower- they just keep blooming!  Daffodils make me so happy!

Brace yourself...

For photos of the cutest puppies ever.  My dad took me to meet his future dog, Daisy, and her three sisters.  They're four week old labrador retrievers, and I had one in my arms for the hour and a half that we spent with the pups.  I couldn't get enough.  I'm still thinking of that puppy smell, those round bodies and their loose puppy skin- those tiny sweet little ears!!

Weekending.

weekending, my favorite part of the week. a time to relax, live, love, just to be. if you'd like to share your weekend either with words, photographs, or both, leave a link to a weekend post in the comments.
This weekend was...

Bright and sunshiny and the sky was blue with perfect white clouds.
Drank coffee until noon and ate a nice sandwich for breakfast.
Snuggled with Harold in a sun spot and realized
just how nice it must be to be a cat.

I freaked out on the house-
Bathrooms and washed dishes
Swept, vacuumed.
Laundry with ironing folding putting away.
I weeded the garden and cleaned the screened in porch.
All of it was much needed and felt great.

Roasted strawberries and enjoyed them over ice-cream.
It feels like spring is finally here.

How was your weekend?
Joining with Amanda.
