Wow!  This year is really flying by!  Spring is here and the weather here in Illinois is warmer than usual.  Actually, we have broken several record highs for this time of year.  I can honestly say that I don't remember mowing the yard before in March!!    
   My flowers are all coming up, the trees are blooming, and the sweet smell of spring is in the air.

  I don't remember ever having such beautiful weather for March.   Here are a few more pics from around my yard...........

Plum Tree

My sweet dog, Mocha, tends to get in a lot of my pictures.   She tends to follow me everywhere!  Love her!

Easter is next week!  Wow! I still need to pick up a few things for Easter Sunday.   It's looking like Easter in my house.
