I moved into a new house in the dead of winter, so never saw the yard in bloom at all. With the hint of spring coming, I am now hearing peepers and quackers (wood frogs) in my little pond... and seeing all sorts of little green leafys popping up... as well as forsythia along the side of my driveway. And seeing the world through the eyes of two 3 year olds puts a smile on my face daily. :-)
