signs of spring

The signs of winter releasing it's grip are everywhere around here. Thank you God, the sun has returned to Alaska! The first sign is less frequent blog posts. Another is the itchin' for a new hair style...and if you can't think of what to do with your own, try a brother's hair!
Another sign...The annual Mother-Daughter Easter Tea.
And the sunglasses come out of their dusty cases! In this case...they come in the mail from Gramps Tom. Owen's first pair of shades:)
Hand-painted terra cotta pots filled with grass in my kitchen window. Another sign! We grow grass in little pots each spring. This makes me smile when it seems the grass may never be uncovered again. The kids love to cut their grass and I LOVE to smell the fresh clippings!
Great Grandma Darlene sends us way fun eggs. Personalized this year with yummy goodies inside!
And the Ryans come over and we hunt for eggs.
