blooms everywhere!

This springtime is stunning. Our tulips are glorious, the apple blossoms and cherry blossoms are amazing and now the lilacs have bloomed and the whole world smells like something you could never put in a bottle.

Elsie asks us every day, "what day is it today?" We say, "Friday." And she says, "No! I want it to be Springtime!" Which I could not figure out for weeks until she was singing herself to sleep one night, her favorite song from ECFE, "Spring is Coming, Spring is Coming, Hear the Birds! Hear the Birds! They are busy looking, they are busy looking, For big fat worms. For big fat worms." The next morning I told her we could change the song to Spring is Here! Spring is Here! And I think she was satisfied. Because it really is here!
