SPRING FEVER!

Yesterday was awesome(high 60's)and only made me crave the warmer temps of spring-now they're talking snow! (Iowan's love their change of seasons:lol!) Anyway...Dawson & I spent most of the day outside, along with Dexter who was home sick, or so he claimed! They rode the dune buggy and looked for treasures in the ole' milk house to add to their fort. I added a little color to the walk-thorough doors outside, a deep cranberry color, and went for a 2 mile walk with my 3-legged canine companion, Dewey.
Looking at our shoes as we walked through the grass, imagining the beautiful green to come, Dawson & I recited a list of all the things we want to do this spring. It was something like this: plant flowers, plant garden, look for worms, ride in the paddle boat, rope, hike down by the creek, trail ride with snacks, get new sand for the sand box(maybe a few new toys), buy baby goats....and the list went on & on & on with a 5 year old. My thoughts were: wash windows, stain the deck, plant a few more shrubs, pick up the rocks fron the yard(left over from snow removal), get some algae stuff for the pond, take a major trip to the dump, "that sounds funny-recycle center", and everything Dawson wants to do"which sounds much more relaxing & fun!"
