A Spring Stroll!

Is Spring really here?? It was such a beautiful day here in Ohio. 

The temperatures actually reached 84 degrees today.
This is very odd for this time of year.
 It should be freezing cold with snow falling.
 We should be cuddling under our heaviest afghan
and enjoying a nice cup of hot cocoa!
 The kids should be having snowball fights
and making snow angels outside!

I had to go digging for a pair of shorts and T-Shirt today.

 It was so hot and humid outside that I actually had to put 

the A/C on in the car for the first time since the summer.

 I do have to admit that although I'm not a fan of hot
and humid weather, I really am enjoying the Spring.
 The trees and flowers are blooming
 and its ever so beautiful!

Shhh! Don't tell anybody!!

I couldn't pass up a chance to take a nice little
stroll around our yard. It was the perfect day!
The sounds of the birds chirping, butterflies zipping
all around and the sweet aroma of the flowers,
  I couldn't wait to go outside and start exploring!
 I was in search of new Spring flowers,

 and to find out if Spring really is upon us early. 

Let's take a nice stroll together!

The first sign of Spring!
(That was fast!)
Once you take a step outside,
you'll see all those little red buds
everywhere that fell off the trees
 during the recent storms!

I was greeted by the sounds of a chainsaw

and wondered what my hubby was

getting into?

He was cutting down some 

trees and limbs in the yard

 and adding them to his

 ever growing wood pile.

He has so many ideas

of what he wants to create

with all of this wood!

Hmm, stools for around the fire pit perhaps?

He won't be bored with all of this wood.

This is just the beginning of the wood

piles that surround different parts 

of our yard.

If the weather keeps up like this,

I'll be using these in the

very near future!

And let's continue through the yard

and see what we can find!

Doesn't is smell heavenly?

There must be flowers

out here someplace!

This looks like a great spot for a bird feeder!

Oh wait! Look over there!!

Wow, look at all of these

beautiful daffodils!

As we continue our little backyard stroll,

we find a little field of beautiful

scilla flowers!!

These tiny blue and purple scilla flowers

are just so pretty and petite!

Time to take a short break, 

 sit down and just take in 

and enjoy all of the

beauty that surrounds us!

We sure do have a lot 

of beautiful daffodils

throughout the yard!

We just found the first hyacinth in the yard!!

I see a few grape hyacinth's getting

 ready to bloom! Hope we get

pictures on the next stroll!

Just love the variety of colors

on the daffodils in our yard!

Other parts of the yard starting to bloom!

More beautiful scilla flowers!

This is where I plan on putting our Fairy Garden

this summer! It's the perfect size area! 

It goes all the way up to that tree!

It overlooks a few windows

so we can enjoy all of 

the beauty anytime we want!

Time to get the birdfeeders 

and bird nesting materials out

so the birds can build their nests!

It's such a beautiful day, even with the

clouds rolling in!

I hope you enjoyed our little backyard stroll!

Come back in a few days for our next stroll

and see what new flowers are in bloom!

Maybe we'll get lucky and capture

some pictures of my favorite trees! 

The Cherry Blossom and Dogwood Trees!

Time for me to start working on my crocheting!

Have a BEAUTIFUL day!!

See you soon!

Ciao Ciao!
