"Sunshine, lollipops, and.. rainbows...

everything that's wonderful, is what I feel when, we're together"... don't you just love that old Lesley Gore song... it always makes me happy... I do believe that's what this pretty little Robin was singing this morning when I looked out my front window and saw her...



She was loving the sunshine today, and her "lollipops" were the berries on our tree out front... look how cute she looks with the one she just plucked from the tree in her mouth... Yum!.. Did you know there will ALWAYS be something white in a Robin's nest? My great~grandmother told me that when I was a little girl, and through the years I have always found it to be true... sometimes it is a piece of white string, sometimes a piece of white paper towel... a white feather sticking out... next time you see a Robin's nest... look for something white... it will be there... just like my great~grandmother said...


Her "rainbow" was just out my back window... the little neon yellow sign for pedestrians by the Nature trail we take each morning had the gorgeous sunlight shining right on it, and made this rainbow effect... I am sure there is a pot of gold waiting for me at the end of the trail...

Yesterday, I got a new "Spring" haircut... my hair was soo long, she cut 8 inches off... what can I say... I must be from Texas... like my friend Vicki who lives in Texas says, "I love big hair, big earrings and bright red lipstick!" Me too!...(I had a photo of my new haircut here, but deleted it... I don't like pictures of myself so there is just a small one on my sidebar)...

I found myself humming this morning, must be the sunshine... here is a little Spring vignette I set up on my coffee table... not sure yet what I will put under the wire cloche...

I found this cutest little flower pot with a tiny birdnest inside and flowers on the outside yesterday at Roberts... I added the eggs inside and the birds on the outside... must have birdies and eggs at a nest...

I haven't started decorating for Easter yet... this bunny lives on top of one of my hutches year round... I just love how worn and well~loved she looks... I have had her for almost twenty years now and still love her to pieces!... soon, more of her bunny sisters will be coming out to join her...

It's so funny how much better things seem when the sun is shining... I started crocheting another muffler... even though Spring is almost here, we still get some nippy winds through March when we are walking, so I always wear a muffler... don't you just love the yummy pastel colors of the yarn!...

When I went outside, the sky above our foothills looked like little hearts in the clouds... (anyway, I thought they looked like hearts!)...

Oooh! ... teeny little shoots of my Daffodils coming up! I can hardly wait!...

Some of my Sweet Williams already all green... I love these beautiful flowers, and plant them for my daddy, as they were his very favorite... I plant special flowers for all of my loved ones who have passed on... it makes me happy... and I feel so close to them....

I love walking around my gardens and seeing what has changed from day to day... then I checked all of my birdhouses... I put fresh wood~shavings in the bottoms of each one of them... did you know that the birds actually "scout" out their Spring nesting sites during the winter months?... They do, and they also like to "clean house" so to speak, tossing out old "nests" and such (thus the wood shavings) before they begin making their own dream home... We have many birdhouses around our yard and gardens, and they are all "For Rent"!...

Back inside, I sat and finished sketching out my gardens... I love seeing the soil and bark once more, the snow is all gone and I am ready to plan my Spring planting... I have started my "wish list" in my garden journal for new plants to add this year...

I hope your day was full of "sunshine, lollipops and, rainbows, everything, that's wonderful, is what I feel when, we're together"... xoxo
