It's March 14th and the flowers are blooming! Yesterday it reached 80 degrees here in Maryland and today it was warm, sunny, and in the high 70's. We really did get through the winter without a big snowstorm! I think this is the first time I've ever remember this happening. The trees all along the highway have big buds just ready to burst. The cherry and apple blossom trees are already showing their beautiful soft pink and white flowers.
The sun feels good and inspires me to create. So much to do this year. My triplet grandchildren are turning two in June. It's still early enough to create birthday hats for them. I'll have to make sure I schedule time in my calendar to do them. My middle daughter will be graduating high school this year. I'll have to come up with some creative party ideas for her graduation party (I can't wait)! My youngest daughter is graduating eighth grade also in June. She's extremely creative, so it will be hard to come up with a clever gift for her. She also loves Pinterest and usually beats me to the great projects pinned on there.
Easter is coming soon and the triplets will have their first Easter egg hunt. I remember all three of my daughters loving the Easter egg hunt. Even if it was just some eggs scattered on the lawn when they were babies, they loved the thrill of "finding" the eggs. Then there were those years that the eggs were hidden in really hard to find places. Some years those eggs weren't found until months later!
I love the progression of generations. I love to see the joy the simple traditions bring to each child as he or she grows up and then those children carry on the tradition with their own family. It shows how much they really meant to them as they were growing up.
Here's to Spring, Easter, flowers, warm weather and especially to new generations! Have a great week! ~Terry
