Spring Is Here!

We've been waiting for Spring for a long time now and Michigan weather has been teasing us terribly bad.  Today is finally a beautiful spring day, though!  The sun was shining brightly and the forecasted high was to be 70 degrees.  Didn't get that high but it did hit 60 degrees!

My flower beds are calling to me...I see the wonderful, brave spring flowers poking through all the leaves that were supposed to be gone in the fall but still remain (thank you, dear husband!) and the pretty crocus' blooming bright.  But what actually got me working outside today?  My compost pile!  Yup, I played around with fruit, veggies and plant material today.  You'll never guess where it was so I'll just say it.  It was all on my deck.  I threw it out there to take outside this winter and never did it so I had a back log of veggies and stuff that were rotten, soggy and getting pretty smelly.  They needed a permanent home and they are now nestled in a pile of dried leaves out in the woods in back of my house.  Now THAT'S a productive day!  Yup, you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl!

I also went for a walk today.  Just a mile, but it's a mile more than I've done in the past so YEA for ME!  I hope to do it again tomorrow and the next day and so on and so on.  Here's hoping for some weight loss in the next few months.  That would be g-o-o-d!

Last night I started scrapping some of my Toronto pictures in My Memories Suite (you can click here to order if you don't have this awesome software!).  The zoo pics were by far some of my favorites so I started with them.  Here's a couple of my pages...I hope you like them!  I'd like to give credit to the designer of the kit I used:  Zoology by Storyrock.  It was a fun kit and it was easy to adapt to my "pictorial" needs.  Is that word used correctly?  I'll pretend it is!

Have a blessed Sunday!
