Daydreaming about Spring


I remember when I took this photo early last May. I went for a walk around the pond, and there it was... the most perfect little set of robin's eggs carefully tucked away in a tree. The kids and I then came back every four days or so to peek in and gently observe them. We watched the little baby robins grow and leave the nest. Spring's perfection and charm. I have been looking at my image folders I took from last spring and am now daydreaming here. Spring is my favorite season - the season I feel the most alive and energized. But, for now we still have a few more months of winter. I shouldn't complain, it's been mild - where's the snow? But, oh it is dull. To manage that, I like to treat myself to a bunch of time period dramas and nest away the winter evenings... I get this way every end of January and warn my husband that I will be taking over the Netflix queue. Then after that stage usually comes the garden planning time for me. Just some self observations I have been having about my life as I am getting up in age. Well, have a nice weekend everyone and I hope you get to do something nice! For me, it's been decided I am going to go with short bangs again... so I am getting my haircut this weekend; I'm in need in something fresh and new for winter. So off go the chin length bangs! I'll pop by next week!

  4. what a wonderful picture :) i can't wait for spring to come either... with every year i grow older, i like winter less ;)

    we used to have birds building their nests in our garden at our old house, it is so much fun to watch them - not only for the children, also my husband and i enjoyed it :)

  5. Dear Lara, So true! I am in desperate need of spring, since we are back from France I haven't seen the sun so far. In fact it started to snow again (which is pretty common in January - I know). Thanks for the picture, it is a beautiful shot. Take care, Carolina

  6. That nest was a great little find! I've been dreaming of sun and warmer weather too. I always trick myself into believing that it will be so much nicer outside starting in about March, but really it always seems to be more like April, which at this point seems so far away. Hope you have a good weekend! You'll have to show us how your bangs turn out. I got some long bangs a few weeks ago...that's as short as they're going to go :)
