Spring!!!!

As I traveled from Nevada to Oregon yesterday, spring was all abound on the ranches that I drove by in between the two states that I now call home, new calves on the ground, groups of horses and cattle grazing the new green grass. Living in the desert, I don't see the flowers and green as much as one would in California or Oregon (depending on what side of the state you are in, Eastern Oregon is just as much the desert as Nevada is)

Looking outside the windows of my mother's house here in Southern Oregon, I see sights of my youth such as the tulips that Daddy and I planted many years ago, start to pop up. The daffodils and crocus that my sister planted in memory of our beloved Daddy, are already flowering and look absolutely amazing!






And spring also means Holy Week and one of my favorite holidays, Easter Sunday. As a child I always figured it was all about bunnies, lambs, and baby chicks, as well as egg hunts and chocolate! Now that I am an adult and attend church, I understand the significance of the holiday. But I still like my baby bunnies and Cadbury Cream Eggs however!

Spring means wearing lighter clothes in pinks, light yellows, light purples and airy colors. Pink lipsticks and pastel eye shadows are perfect colors to wear this time of year.

Soon the farmers will start spring planting and thinking about what hay and crops to plant. Branding season will be in full swing soon as well.

So get out there and SOAK IT UP!!!!
