Apple tree

Here’s the tree in full bloom just *minutes* before the wind blew them all away.
Happy spring! Looking forward to juicy apples in the fall.
Apple blossoms

The apple tree was in full bloom by this time last year. We’re just getting started now. But, hey. I’ll take it. Welcome, spring!
Happy May Day!

Lots going on this month! Today marks the beginning of Get Caught Reading Month. We’re also just a few hours away from Children’s Book Week. This week is also Teacher Appreciation Week. Whew! And that’s just a start, but it’s all I can get to today. Gotta go read a book.
That’s my son in the picture. He reads books while walking, sitting and when he should be sleeping. If he’s just been to the library at school at the end of the day, he’ll read a book all the way home. Sometimes a book is so good that the floor is the best place to drop and finish it.

I’m not sure I want to see what’s in store for us in May.
Yeah. Good thing we put up the swings.
Yay.

It seems to take forever for spring to get here. Slowly but surely, though, the signs of spring are increasing.
Robins everywhere.
Climbing the apple tree.
Last of the snow. (This was last weekend. It’s all gone now. Yay!)
Tilling the garden.
Daffodils.
Lilies.
Stormy sky.
We had stormy weather last night, with two tornado warnings and tornado watches all night. We took the kids downstairs for the first warning (got them out of bed and tucked them in bed in the basement). Thought we might might be fine, so hauled them back up to their beds upstairs. Only to hear about another warning and a tornado spotted just south of us. So I trotted them all back downstairs for the night.
We’re expecting more monster storms tonight. I figure we’ll just head straight for the basement at bedtime, if not before, whenever the tornadoes decide to start dancing across Iowa again.

Spring?

Sure signs … putting up the swings and checking out the birdhouses. Spring has to be right around the corner. Right?
