because spring is for savoring

There are things I enjoy about each season, but spring is special. After a long cold winter, spring is when things come back to life. The daylight hours are long and the evenings are cool. I'd like to bottle up a handful of spring evenings to savor when the summer days are hot, fall is rainy or winter is dark. Instead I took some photos this evening of the everyday things I love so much.

_{The children spend so much time in the sandbox}

_{They love collecting treasures at the coast. I tell them to take their shells to the sandbox. They have quite the collection! Some of the shells come from as far away as the coast of Spain.}

_{Lucky, a Golden Sexlink.}

_{I don't like when they roost in the nest boxes, but they sure seem to find it ideal.}

_{My hours of work the last few weeks are about to pay off. Lettuce and radishes are nearly ready, and the strawberries are getting pink.}

_{These hot pink geraniums had exotic names, but I'm basic so I just say pink.}
