The Neglected Blog....

Oh my, I have neglected my blog again.  I have absolutely no excuse other than I have been out and enjoying our Spring weather.  Up until yesterday when the winds began to blow, it had been an absolutely gorgeous Spring.  Even Easter Sunday was pleasant enough to sit outside and that is sometimes a rarity.  But Sunday brought rain, wind, and much cooler temps.  I had almost convinced myself that the warm weather was here to stay. I should know better, Spring is totally untrustworthy, one day 70's, the next 40's.

I hope you have a little time because I have a boatload of photographs to post.  First is the "grand" the day before Easter.  We had gathered together to celebrate the life of my son-in-law's father who had passed away.  He had been quite ill for several months and was in great pain, but he is now in a much better place.  I took this sweet picture of my great grand....oh to be nearer so I could take pictures all the time.  She is already 7 months old, has her first tooth, pulling herself up to a standing position, doing the low crawl and moving faster than a speeding bullet.  Also has 2 words in her vocabulary, Mamama and hi.  I know, she is absolutely brilliant.

The next day was Easter Sunday and the 2 grands, the boyfriend, my daughter and son-in-law all gathered to celebrate Easter, enjoying the belly pleasing brunch and the warmest Easter we have had in years.

With the warm weather, Spring in all it's glory has arrived.  I went to the Arboretum 3 times in one week, each day seeing some newly emerged beauty.

Until next time.....
