Egg Hunt

Searching for eggs in our back garden on Easter morning

Planting

Tess helped me fill the flower pots and plant flowers.  She did much of it on her own.

Snow Day

Our one and only real snow fall this year happened a couple of weeks ago in early February.

This is Lewis's first real experience playing in snow.  He highly approved!

 Tess has been dreaming of playing in the snow all winter.  She even woke on Christmas day certain that there would be snow outside.  (There was none, much to her disappointment.)

It's hit and miss whether we'll get any snow during an English winter.  Last year we didn't get any snow, while other years we've gotten a good handful of snow storms. 

Cold fingers!

Tess stayed out and played long after Lewis got too cold and gave up and went inside.

Snowdrops

Snowdrops from our garden.  These little flowers are so lovely and delicate and grow in unexpected places - and in the middle of the winter.  It gives me hope that winter will one day be over.
