Spring has arrived

Spring arrived last Saturday, which means the heat isn't too far behind, so Michael decided to go ahead and plant some summer grass, which he did on Monday. It was a nice day to be outside enjoying the beautiful weather. It's been going from the low 70s to the low 80s for a week or so. I wish it would stay in the 70s for a while, but it looks like the 80s are fighting hard to stay. I think there's one more possibility of a cold front coming through next week, then most likely the 80s will take over and stay for maybe a week or so, then the triple digits will hit, and that's how it will be for the next several months. Well, maybe the 100s won't hit that quickly, but they're not far off! blah... Anyway, here are a few pics from this last Monday...

Caitie picked some 'flowers' for me from one of the Lantana plants.



She then picked more 'flowers' from both the Lantana plant and an Oleander plant in order to make something with her bucket and baby tiger. It turned out pretty.

We let one of our cats out to explore a bit. Holly-Hoo is a lazy cat and a bit on the heavy side, which keeps her from going over the fence, so we're not afraid of letting her out occasionally. She loved it; she didn't want to go back inside.

She was batting her barely-there eyelashes at Michael, silently pleading with him to let her stay outside, it didn't work though. I could have told her she was wasting her time, I've tried the same thing for different reasons and it has yet to work for me. You would think Holly would have had a better chance though, she's a cutie.

Caitie asked her daddy to stop mowing before all the 'four-leaf clovers' were gone. She went through this patch of 'clovers' to grab as many as she could before Michael mowed over it.

As you see here, they're gone.

I was barefoot and walked in the freshly cut grass weeds and got the bottom of my feet all green, so Caitie volunteered to clean them for me by spraying them with the hose.

Caitie helped with the sweeping. Not too long after this she and her daddy threw some grass seeds on the yard, but it was getting dark by then, so I didn't take any pics. Hopefully we'll see some pretty green grass in a couple of weeks.
