Blooming




I don't know if spring has done the proverbial springing or not, but I do know that 68 degree sunshine is awfully good for the winter-worn soul. The weeping cherries are starting to bloom, followed by the red buds and the dogwoods, giving way to green leaves, warm grass and the prelude of summer. After such a cold hibernation I cannot fathom anything better than the teasing warmth of spring.
Amidst the sunshine, warmth and about 150 other people brushing the chill of winter off their shoulders, we met Caroline and Field at the arboretum for some pre-Easter fun. Though the earth was still damp and the daffodils were still sleepy from the cold, we had a great time watching Caroline teach Field about the happiness of spring. It's his first, afterall. Happy were they to get outside and squeal and play and even sneak their toes in the grass to say "Hello Spring! We've missed you!" Enjoy the pictures and let us know if your toes need warming or your soul needs springing- we're happy to capture it.
Caroline, thanks for being the best big sister ever! We couldn't have done it without you... and Field- this is springtime in the bluegrass. jg.
