I found flowers.

I found flowers. That's it. It made me smile to be able to walk around the neighborhood and see flowers. With the sun shining. With my family. I hope you all had at least one sunny day too! :D

A  vote for my blog? Yes?

My example of "Spring":

It's hard to tell... but, this is what our spring looks like this year in the PNW. Sweaters for sure. This was actually a pretty nice day! I think it got to 65 degrees!

Here are a couple links to some free photo editing software if you don't already have something:
Picnik 
Picasa
Gimp
Pixlr

..........................
Remember: my photo challenges do require you to have either your children or one of your furry children (pets) in the photo. It could be just one finger... or a toe... but, they must be there.
There always has to be rules... I know, boring right? But, it's to help me and you. :) Click on this link for more details... Each entry does need to link back to my blog... All photo entries need to be in by 11:59 PM Pacific Time on May 5th ...

Maybe if...

Maybe if I post this photo of these daffodils... then old man winter will realize it's spring and he'll go to sleep. What's up with the cold winter temps?

I should probably change out my snowy photo in my banner too... ;D

A couple clicks for our blog?
