They Dont Get Better Than This!!!

So here we are in the midst of a NorthWest winter...cue the rain, clouds, drizzle, etc. NOPE, NOT THIS YEAR!! We have had nothing short of amazing weather these past few days.

In fact my first tete-tete (mini daffodil) opened.

We have been spending so much time outside and we are loving EVERY MINUTE! Not only is it nice to get a refill on our Vitamin D, but the girls sleep so great each night!

(So does their daddy!!)

If you were to drive by this past week, you wouldve seen us doing a variety of things.

We've been mowing the yard, gleefully washing and detailing the truck, working on the playhouse, deadheading the hydrangeas, pruning the roses, cleaning up our flower beds, spreading compost, playing hide and go seek (A's new favorite), looking for wormies, laughing as our cats chase each other through the hedge and enjoying the dogs as they lounge in the warm sunshine.
Here is a picture of one of my rose beds post pruning and composting...oh, and I have the scratches to prove it! But they will be beautiful this summer...definately worth the pain!

Oh, and can you smell that? That would be the smell of us BBQing EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK! It's weeks like this that make me grateful to live in the NW...days like this in February make me realize that spring, followed by summer, will be here before we know it!!
Hope your weekend was just as wonderful and full of memorable moments!

Here's Carlos taking a much needed rest in his favorite basket.
