First Signs Of Spring

Had a hard week dealing with some family stuff, and it always makes me feel better when I go inside my church and stay for awhile.  I lit a candle for each one of my family, and it gave me comfort being there.

 

I know many states are still having a lot of snow and rain and cold, but here in California, this is what I've been seeing lately.

 

There is a BIG field of yellow flowers near Jess' house, and every Spring they start to bloom and look so beautiful.  Francesca looks so small walking through this big field of flowers.

 

Jess has a large pink suitcase of Trolls from when she was little.  I was happy to hear that she's going to clean 'em all up and let Francesca play with them.  It reminded me of playing Trolls with my neighbor, Linda, growing up.  I had the best time - I only had one Troll, but Linda always shared hers.  Speaking of Trolls.....Nel sent me this picture on Valentine's Day.  Doesn't Mia look like a cute little Troll?

  I got a Valentine card in the mail from Jess with a $25 Starbuck's gift card.  The first thing I got was a coffee and a red velvet loaf.  The card is so cool, and it has everything I like on the front - camera, red bird, pink typewriter for writing, and the picture at the bottom reminded her of her grandma.

I think out of all the grandchildren, Jess looks like my mom the most.  She was petite, and such a beauty.   Here's a picture of her and Jess, so you can see the resemblance.

So, we've been having some sunny days.

And this is what I've been seeing
around here lately.

Are you feeling the Spring fever yet?
