Spring is here in earnest now. Our yard is fringed with cheerful daffodils in all sorts of shades of cheerful yellow. We also have many smaller flowers such as Greek wind flowers, grape hyacinths, squills, miniature daffodils, miniature tulips, and crocuses blooming. We even have a few Dutch hyacinths, with their rich and pleasant aromas perfuming the air. The morning is brightened with the singing of what sounds like hundreds of song birds. The rabbits are out in our yard every night at dusk. And some of the herbs and the green onions and the garlic are all sprouting in our garden from last year. 
Today the kids helped clean the house, while Dan dropped home periodically to burn leaves in the big burn barrel (he was working nearby and does not want the kids or me to breathe the smoke). I went shopping. The grocery store was a madhouse...the pet supplies store not so bad...the last stop was the warehouse club, and it was nearly empty.
It was such a pleasant evening that Dan barbecued some ribs out on the deck, and we had a nice dinner. We are hoping to eat our Easter brunch outdoors on Sunday. 
Steven has a wrestling tournament tomorrow in Clinton. He has some friends from the team over to spend the night, and they will head out there in the morning with Dan. I think I will stay home and try to get some more laundry done...
