It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Our windows are open and there is a lovely breeze coming through the screens. The irises and tulips are stretching their leaves to the sun. My neighbors' lilac bushes are beginning to leaf out. Warm weather is definitely here to stay! (until at least the the end of September)

My husband and son were outside earlier, turning over the dirt in the gardens. We're itching to plant, but it's NOT time yet. Just a few more weeks and we'll get tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and summer squash started.

I love this time of year. The way the air smells, the change in light and the chance to get outside and visit with our friends. I hope the weather is good where you are!
