Is it Friday yet???

I am so sleepy & melancholy this morning that I thought I'd spend some time appreciating some of my favorite pics from the last couple weeks.  Hopefully this works for me because the coffee is not.

Time to blow out the candles....

This past Saturday kicked off a ton of April birthdays.  I swear just about everyone was born in April.  My entire month's calendar is filled with birthdays and celebrations. Bottoms up.

Spring has sprung!

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. -Anne Bradstreet

Finally. Warm weather is here & it's time for some fun in the sun.  The last couple of weeks have been interesting to say the least. So many unexpected things happened that really set me back & made me stumble.  I thought the train of unfortunate, untimely events would never end, but as with any low time in our lives we cycle back around to a time of sunshine, growth & happiness.  It's the hard times that make us look at all we have and be grateful because without the winter, we wouldnt know how to appreciate the spring.
