The sun has been shining for a couple of days now, and all of my bushes have flowered and are looking much like spring. The Easter flowers are in full bloom also. My Magnolia has lost many branches from the thick layers of ice that remained so so long, but I am hopeful that it will regain some of its majesty. My lilac bush has some dead branches on it also; however, most of it is covered in large buds. Easter came so early this year that my dogwood is behind schedule. It too is full of huge buds holding a promise of beauty later on.

I also have honeysuckle and fire in the bush that are opening. They aren't in full bloom yet, but I look forward with anticipation to their beauty.

I have been cleaning this morning trying to stay ahead of all the cat hair! Boo keeps dragging out a toy of his that he dearly loves. I keep picking it up; I finally told him to start putting it back in the basket when he finishes playing with it. He looked at me with a very serious expression as though he knew exactly what I was asking him to do for me. However, the toy is back on the floor.

This is enough of my ramblings for now. You all have a very good day now, ya hear!
