Happy Spring!

We have been busy little bees over at the croft, but today we chose to stay home. It's so nice to be able to rest and have a day off. It's the second day of spring, but you wouldn't know it in Houston. Things have been spring-like for awhile now. I suppose a few more things are blooming and changing here, but not at all like the first signs of spring back home. Do I dare say I miss the Kansas winters? Well...maybe not the darkness and depression that never seems to end. But there is a special feeling you get when witnessing the changing of the seasons that I didn't really get to experience this year. Never the less, we went to the park today and enjoyed being out in the sun. We left a little stick  message for someone to find on the playground.

And here are a few more from our backyard today.

Blooms galore! We think periwinkle?
