Okay, spring is FINALLY here!  I'm so glad.  I'm really a fan of the sun and nice warm weather.  Winter, on the other hand, not so much!

So, when I look out my window and see the tulips starting to pop through, and a few daffodils getting ready to bloom for me, I take a moment to appreciate them.  I also have some hellebores that I planted about 4 years ago.  Strange name, eh?  They are the first flowers to bloom in our garden.  They're at the back of our house, and I can see them out my side window.  I have the pale celery green colour, and the gorgoeus purple, which are both shown in the photo above.  (I admit, not my photo!)  But mine will look like those in about one week - I'll take a picture to show you all! 

At that same side window, I have a suet bell bird feeder that my wonderful hubby was sweet enough to hang for me before Christmas.  There's not much left to it now, but we have a "husband and wife" pair of cardinals that hang out there and feed, and I just love to see them.  It's so sweet how they are always together.  

I feel like I've been running around like a crazy person since February.  So, today I decided to take it easy and do a few things around the house that just never get COMPLETELY done.  I worked on some tax things (paperwork is definitely on my strong suit!), a few loads of laundry, a little meal planning, some vaccuuming, and researched possibly purchasing a cool watch for running that has a GPS component so I know how far exactly I've gone.  It also has a built in heart rate monitor, which is a bonus.  Judy, if you're reading this...it's all your fault!!  (Thanks!  :))

Anyways, this little blog entry was my short escape from the tax stuff, but I guess I'd better get back to it now and actually get it finished.

I'm getting really excited for my Beginner's Walk to Run class.  I've got a group of 9 ladies and we're starting our walk/runs on Monday April 5th.  Here's hoping the trails will be in great condition!  If you're interested in joining us, feel free to email me for more details, or click the Upcoming Classes link at the top of my website.

My wish for you today is that you can get outside and enjoy some of this glorious sunshine.  Take a few moments to sit in a sunny, sheltered place and remember how nice it feels to have the sun shine down on you!!

I'll leave you with a couple of pictures of my cardinals for you to enjoy (and yes, I did take this one!)
