Spring has sprung, the grass is riz… I wonder where the birdies is.
I wanted to find an inspirational poem, maybe one by Robert Frost...however, it just sounded corny. This is the one Spring poem I know, anybody want to share theirs?
It is Spring...so they say. It's been cold and windy all Spring Break. I should have heeded the "chance of rain" forecast Wednesday...I left the back of my Tahoe open and it was drenched on Thursday. I should have heeded the "chance of snow" forecast Thursday...I left the back of my Tahoe open to dry and it snowed inside.
We are all enjoying the break, even if it has been an indoors one. The girls have perfected the inside "fort" in the living room and "submarine" in the hallway. It brings back memories of us building forts with my Grandma's umbrellas, she had so many of them! We never got tired of doing that...and thank goodness she always let us. I wonder if we cleaned them up...I don't have any memory of that part so I'm guessing someone else did.
My best Easter memory is this: we always spent Easter Sunday in Helena with G&G Barrett and our cousins, Dawn and Molly. I hated (and I mean despised) Easter Egg hunts. I remember them being a free-for-all, with big girls knocking me down and stealing my eggs. On this particular Easter, I was hiding in the back apple tree in my Easter dress hoping to get out of the dreaded egg hunt.
I slipped!! Fell out! Hit my head on the tree trunk! And bit right through my tongue!
All of us kids walked to the park down the street and I spit blood out for about an hour before telling my parents what happened. Or maybe my sister told on me...I don't remember that either. Instead of having to attend the WWF of Easter Egg Hunts I got to get several stitches in my tongue! I have no regrets!
Do I take my girls to egg hunts? Yes, but they seem to be better regulated and divided by age group now. Maybe not...but they don't seem to be tortured by them as far as I can tell.
Happy Spring Everyone!

OH! And awesome digi page! You are already a pro! Wow!
Oh Stacy! Wasn't that awful though!! and it wasn't the 'tip' of your tongue either! it was right in the middle. You and Pam always came home from those Easter Egg Hunts with squashed eggs. That was 'back when' they did 'real eggs'. Maybe they use plastic eggs now?Well, it all makes for a good story!

California Patty
Seriously... are you going to give out photoshop tutorials soon?!
Got my card in the mail - LOVE it!!
Happy Spring dear friend!
Owie...that probably hurt as much as when my sister talked me into licking the frozen mailbox. I think I was stuck 5 minutes before I had to just rip my tongue off.
I'm not a fan of watching egg hunts. We've been doing huge ones at our house so the girls aren't feeling like they are not going to get enough.
Yeah for filled plastic eggs too. Yuck on eating eggs that you are not sure where they came from.
You have sent me pondering into my egg hunt past and I don't remember going to hunts. I remember eggs hidden inside the house???... I think.
I'm sorry your memories are so painful...
Happy Spring!!!
