It all started with pastel, candy hearts...marshmallow filled this and that...a sunny day here and there...a breeze that was soft enough to fly a kite in...a cloudless day...a walk outside with her hand in mine...and...all of the sudden, spring has sprung in my heart and mind...picnics, clotheslines, gardens, wild flowers, cactus blooms, bike rides....I love it all.
Speckled eggs...
Birds nests...
Flowers and sprinkles...
Bunnies, marshmallow, and chocolate...
(The above photos from Williams-Sonoma)
Wishing you a breeze...perfect for flying a kite in.
On the menu tonight: Chicken Enchiladas, fresh, green salad with homemade Ranch dressing, Cilantro Lime Rice, and Chocolate Chip Raisin Cookies for dessert.
Melis

oh to fly a kite, it's windy enough, but maybe too windy. strings would get tangled, kites would fly away. maybe not today. but like the idea. your card is very pretty. glad your life has become normal again. have a good weekend.
