  1. You sure have it wet and muddy right now! We are still having snow too but probably not as much as you are. Keep looking for those signs of spring!

    Thanks for sharing your lovely images with the OHC.

  2. Signs of spring are lovely to see......but it sure is a messy time with mud isn't it? My kids live in their rainboots this time of the year. Great pictures!

  5. That reminds me of my childhood growing up in Ohio. While I confess I miss the stark contrast that comes with the change of seasons, I am relieved to not have the mess that it all causes. Although, you make it look pretty magical! Gorgeous pictures.

  14. Love your pictures. In Massachusetts, we're having pretty much the same....spring, then, snow, and lots of mud. We recently moved from the city to a town and love all the nature we were missing on the city streets. I miss being close to public transportation and some of the other advantages of the city, but Nature wins hands down..... I'm glad your kids get to enjoy so much nature at a young age. It truly is a gift. Thanks for your posts, love your blog.

  16. Your pictures really capture the reality of a slow coming spring.... we are right there with you. My favorite is the jeans. We have a lot of those at our house too....even with the rubber boots!
