Spring in my yard!

This time of year is amazing to me, all the dead becomes alive again. A new beginning for so many and not just plants, I think we as people need this burst of fresh green grass and blooming flowers to look forward. This has been a looooong winter. ugh. I cant tell you how much I, myself have longed for sunshine and blue sky's. It has been a very very rainy spring here in Rochester. I heard that we had 18 straight days of rain or something like that. Ufda. I am greeting this sunshine with open arms.

Yesterday as you all know was mothers day, we had a lovely day with Ryan's family. He has a huge Italian family so I always leave feeling extremely full! I love his family, they know how to make you feel loved and his mom is seriously super woman. She can do anything and everything, plus she is probably the best cook I know. YUM!! :) Ryan's mom is one of those people who will give you the shirt of her back if your cold. She is so generous, loving and beautiful. She is one amazing woman.

I love our family.

I do however get sad around holidays because I cant be with my family even if they are just little ones like yesterday. My mom is so beautiful, talented and special to me. She always makes me feel safe and loved. Her spirit is full of life, she really loves simple beauty and I'm positive thats where I get my love for life from. She has always pushed me to be a good person and do what I love, she has never once made me feel bad about the decisions I have made and continues to support me through anything. I love you mama.

Isn't this tree unreal!!!? Oh man I cant stop staring out my window to look at it. I love it! :)
