the treasures of spring

so its been in the upper 40s for two days straight, and just beautiful outside. Yesterday bee rode her bike around the block and frankie walked the whole way! the snow in our front yard is gone, and when we were sitting on the front porch blowing bubbles (it was warm enough to sit on the front porch!) we saw that the flowers in the front were starting to peak through the soil! In the back yard, where the snow is taking longer to melt because of the shade from the house, you can see lots of patches of grass coming through. We went to play in the background... but had to postpone that play while we cleaned up about 200 hundred treasures deposited by the dogs that were once hidden by the snow but now also peaking through the melt.
