This week’s topic is SPRING. Clues of springtime have been appearing for a few weeks now, but it’s a bit dreary lately, so I haven’t taken another spring shot. However, I noticed around the yard that we have received spring’s bounty in a different way.
Next door we have two very active little boys, and their sans-jackets playtime is a sure sign that spring has sprung. I gathered the various balls that have bounced over the fence in the last couple of weeks. You can just make out another one that is clinging to its own side of the fence. What you cannot see, is the tiny red shoot in the mulch that will soon be a beautiful peony!

What a sweet and unusual way to show how Winter changes to Spring in your garden – fun!

Thank you! There is just nothing like the sounds of children at play, especially after a winter of being cooped up inside.

How lovely that the children play out. And that you collect the balls for them. Super interpretation of Spring!

Thank you! We will be tossing them back throughout the spring, summer and autumn; I hadn’t realized how many we already had! Happy days, happy boys.

It makes me smile, too. My children are grown, so having toys around brings back memories. (Oooh, stepping on Lego’s isn’t one of the better ones haha)

This must be what happens with my neighbours – although it’s not because of children but because of my inaccuracy with throwing tennis balls for the dogs.

If the red shoot is in the photograph, I think I can just see it. 🙂

Melting snow uncovers all sorts of things in the yard. It’s like a springtime treasure hunt.

What a grand collection to be uncovered – my favourite is the swirly turquoise!
Have you made any choices from Mood yet? 😉
Hope you’re having a lovely week!

Thanks! I like that one, too. ( Oh, I also found a lid to traveling coffee mug that has been missing for months…ya just never know what will show up. 😉 )
No Mood choices yet, but I have a very specific idea in mind, and they are probably a very good place to start! Thanks for the memory jog.
Hope yours is lovely, too!
