Revive Us Again!

We unlocked the windows and heaved them up, letting in a gush of air.  There's just something about having a cross breeze whip through your house taking the musty scent of months pent up and whisking it right out the window.... it does something for the house and the soul. It just smelled "clean." The sun gleamed in the windows casting a brilliant glow into the house...giving warmth to everything it touched. Spring's buds were pushing through Winter's cold. Winter no long had it's grasps...things were coming alive, things were being revived!

I began spring cleaning.... kitchen cabinet crumbs were wiped away and the freshness was spread around the room.

We made a trip to the zoo the first chance we could get. There is nothing like seeing the wonder in gleaming eyes as they marvel at God's amazing creations!

Little Man had his own fun at the zoo in the backpack eating one of his biter biscuits! What a mess!

The garden plans began to come underway. Big Sis and I made a mock mini garden and she helped me sketch out what we wanted to plant where.

We took the family for a stroll across the street to visit neighbors we haven't seen in 3 months and to deliver a bit of Valentine goodness (better late then never).

We walked down two blocks to visit Big Sis' new school (she won't be attending for 2 more years). We were welcomed with big smiles and given a school tour. Big Sis observed a kindergarten class and met the principal.

Banana Banana Bread  is currently baking in the oven ready to be snatched up by eager fingers while it is still warm and steamy (with a spread of butter on top it can't be beat, unless you are the Preacher and then well... Banana Banana Bread doesn't sound appealing for the mere fact that there are bananas in it).  The timer just went off! Time for banana bread!
