Ah, the epitome of spring. This is one of my favorite photos from this season so far … can you name the flower?

My husband, dad, and I had tickets to the Royals baseball game last Friday. You may have seen my grumblings about the snow, or if you live in the Midwest you were probably grumbling with me. The game was postponed and rescheduled for Monday at 1:10 p.m. Unfortunately my husband couldn’t go since he’s a teacher, but thanks to my accumulated personal days, I was able to go with my retired parents. For once, the weather was perfect. Despite the fact that we lost in the 11th inning to the White Sox, it was actually a really exciting game … for baseball. 🙂

This is part of an adorable housewarming gift we received recently. I can’t wait for it to warm up (for good!) so I can add this little guy to my garden.

These cute garden stakes were part of a very thoughtful housewarming gift.

Looking out my window today at work….

Me: God, is that SNOW?

God: Why yes, yes it is.

Me: But … WHY?

God: I work in mysterious ways.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the bright sunny skies and warm temperatures. Yesterday I went for a run through several neighborhoods near my home, and I got to enjoy the scenery with everyone’s flowers and trees blossoming. (Side note: I’m not looking forward to temps plummeting into the 30s later this week.)

I love how these bright yellow tulips are just reaching for the sun!

The tulips are finally starting to bloom in Kansas City now that we’ve had a few spring-like days.

We’ve had a lot of rain in the last two weeks, which I guess is a good thing since we were in a drought last year. Unfortunately the rain, coupled with the cold weather, has made it hard to spend much time outside.

Here’s a pretty pink flower for your Tuesday viewing pleasure, taken two years ago when trees were in full bloom. Still waiting this season…

Is this a Japanese cherry blossom or something else?

I recently passed a downtown community garden on a walk. With our long winter and spring just beginning, nothing had been planted yet. I did find this tiny flower, which reminded me of baby’s breath. So delicate, yet so sturdy after surviving the harsh winter.
