I was standing under a canopy of gray branches in the kids "fairy garden" in my yard , and I was thinking that by my sons and husbands shared birthday of May 12th, there would be fluffy lilac blossoms and shiny green leaves adorning these limbs. And the first hopes of spring time entered into my mind.
This is usually a tricky time for Mainer's. It's typically dark, gray and TONS of snow, but somehow we've so far had a pretty mild intro to winter in 2010, and we've been really enjoying it. I really can't complain about minimal snow and 40+ degree days. It feels like the soft breezes and daffodils could arrive at any minute.
It seems like I should be knocking on wood, or keeping these thoughts to myself because it really could shift back into the dismal dirty huge snowbanks and gray skies we're all used to at any minute. But I can't help but look to the future spring and hope it will arrive within the six weeks the ground hog promised us.
Anyway, we have been enjoying weather, and the couple snow storms we have gotten. Here's some pics showing what we've been up to.

When its 40 outside, its seventy on the sun porch!
How have you been keeping busy this winter?
