The kids and I went outside to enjoy the nice spring-like weather today. We hung out around the house. I am ever thankful for the view and the yard- such a contrast to our closed-in duplex. What a blessing this place is.

I don't know what this sign says, or what it means. It's on the barn across from our house. The barn is attached to the house that faces ours from the other side of the courtyard.

An up-close shot of the tombstone behind the barn. This woman shared my birthday, only she died nearly 50 years before I was born.

Spring flowers on the edge of the yard, near the neighbor's garden.

Flowers in our yard. The camera lense must have had a smudge on it that I couldn't see but is now fairly obvious from the pictures I've been taking all afternoon.
