The First Gift of Spring

Hope everyone got out and enjoyed some of the beautiful weather yesterday! Those of us long time Ohio residents know that days like that don't come too often in early March, so we have to take advantage of it while we can. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that the fruits of our (okay, my husband's) labors from this past fall are taking shape...I found these in three places in our yard yesterday!




I think they're daffodils, but I can't be sure... My husband is the one with the green thumb, so he planted them, not me. Besides, I was probably off editing photos somewhere anyway! But it does give us hope for the days to come.

And speaking of Hope, make sure you get out and vote today! Whether you're in Ohio, Texas, Vermont or Rhode Island...today's your day! And if you're shying away because you're a registered independent and don't think you can vote for a candidate...worry no more! According to the election officials, you can make a declaration at the polls and make sure your voice is heard! It's a phenomenal year for politics (something I have never been particularly interested in until now), and we all have a tremendous opportunity to really make an impact.. so get out there and vote!
