Sure Signs of Spring!
Who doesn't love this time of year. Everytime I've gotten out lately I have been like pretty much every other blogger ....wanting to capture signs of spring. The buddings I see from my very own trees get me really excited, but even from my walks around my neighborhood (which are over for a while, I learned at Rehab--it's a new program as I wear the belt-- yesterday walking is the worst thing for me right now. I've stopped walking Nells due to his pulling on the leash, but I can't even walk along side my husband with Nells on our nightly walks anymore)- capturing the familiar trees that I see year round burst into budding makes me glow!
Here are my eyes through Spring budding with a lot of help from Instagram, my dependable BFF:
I guess it's a little blurry. It doesn't quite focus. I guess Instagram does have a focusing thingy, but I'm not sure how to use it. Also a friend sent me some cute little lenses I can apply to the lense of my camera if I want to zoom in. I'll have to put that to use. I still like this capture. Don't you?
This is not my Magnolia tree, but a local churches. I stopped when I was driving and got out and snapped a few.
A blogging friend on Instagram saw this picture and said, "Hey I love your Tom's!" I said, "Hey, they aren't Tom's, get this, they are BOB'S! Tom's are too wide for my skinny feet but Bob's by Sketcher's fit like a glove:o!"
Can you believe this little bird's nest I found on my walk one night? Me neither.
Nells always makes me smile.
Kevin and I on one of our nightly walks. I'm already mourning them. They are good times.
A lot of Instagrammers loved this snapshot of Kevin and Nells, I do too.
If you ever doubted Spring was here, let me assure you: Nells is sunbathing on the deck! He is so stubborn he will not do this unless it's the absolute perfect temperature. He's.so.weird. But adorable and lush, and lovely and sweet!!!
My first daffodil of the season, a for sure sign of SPRING! Little did I know that this sucker belongs OUTside. . .I can't plant it, anyone want her? Or, "Madelynn...I have a favor to ask..."
On one of our nightly walks.
I had an errand to run about an hour away from our home, and this town has like nothing. Ok, maybe a gas station. But I saw this barn and it was a hit with Instagrammers, I love it too!
Can you see the Robin up there?
This is my tree in our front yard. It was planted when we moved in 5 years ago. Here it is a month ago.
And here it is today!
Getting out for a walk or just to get some fresh air can do one so good. My best friend was terribly ill this month, she's been fighting an illness for months now, and just getting out to breathe in some air did me good. Good for the body and mind.
He's INside the door, must have been windy that day.
The Cedar Birdhouse I got for Christmas, I ADORE it and so do the birds!!!
My new Goldenponies from Etsy. Back in December, A from She Smiles, She Writes had a discount coupon for us to use from her blog, so I jumped on it and I JUST received them a couple of weeks ago; they are handmade in Mexico, thanks again Ashley, I never want to part from them! I wish I could wear them to bed :o
Madelynn and Nells, love this. So precious to me.
I so hope you are having a beautiful Spring, and that you enjoyed my pictures, it was good to get feedback that you like my pictures, good news, because I want to keep sharing! And thanks again for the sweetest support a girl could ever want from my post earlier this week, wow--you guys know how to leave a girl speechless. Have a rockin or relaxing weekend!
P.S. I'd still like to do a post dedicated to my readers, and I only received a few photos and your city, so would you send one on out to me? I'd love to highlight you in a collage!!!

You're a little ahead of us on the Spring front. It was getting nicer here, then this morningI woke up to big chunks of snow dumping down. It's still comin' down as I type this!
Thanks for your commet, it actually wasn't very cold at all on the top of the mountain.. and apparently we hit a perfect day because it's usually windy as heck, but there was nothing!
i love the emergence that is spring.

haha, and lol @ Bob's.
We had a magnolia tree in my front yard growing up. It smelled so wonderful and the blooms were probably a foot wide sometimes. Thanks for making me think of a nice memory :)
