It's finally starting to look like spring here at our Little Red House! Crocus and daffodils dot the landscape, and the trees are beginning to bud. We had a beautiful misty morning on Saturday -- the view you see here is looking out at the front lawn. This is my favorite time of year. :)
I just want to say thank you for your comments and prayers yesterday. My father-in-law has been fighting multiple myeloma for the past four years. Last week, he was hospitalized with pneumonia, bronchiolitis and a myrsa infection. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.

It seems all of us bloggers are ready for Spring and looking for any hopeful signs. You found some great hope here to share. Have a wonderful week Mary!
ReplyDeleteGreat mosaics Mary, I also love this time of year. Rebirth is so special. I am sorry I missed your post concerning your father-in-law, my father also suffered from multiple myeloma. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Take care.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love the yellow and purple and how intense the colors look after the dull winter? And the flowers make it worth putting up with the mud. :)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - I hope your father-in-law makes a speedy recovery. That is just too many things to be fighting at once!
Very pretty! Spring is in the air! And I know everyone is ready! ♥
ReplyDeleteYour mosaic is really pretty, and cheer me up for we have nothing blooming just yet.

Signs of spring are popping up everywhere. Daffodils are so cheery and bright.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your father-in-law. It's hard on everyone in the family.
I hope this week goes well for you.
Oh you're a spring girl... I am not surprised. And your second season must be autumn. I think. Mine are reversed. Spring is my second favorite and autumn my first.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. You'd think that I could copy you or something or that just by my hanging around here looking your talents would become mine by osmosis. Oh well, I can dream...
Beautiful photos~ Thoughts & prayers with you & your family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful start to Spring! We're getting there, too! My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring shots Mary! Hoping your FIL gets well soon.
