Springtime means some outdoor work. Allie and Rachel "helped" us outside.
They really love playing with rocks.
We had a nest near our front door on a rain gutter.
And it had an egg in it!
Our clematis bloomed. This is the first one. The whole bush is incredible when it is in bloom.
Allie picked out a birdhouse to paint at Hobby Lobby with her birthday money. Daddy put it up on the fence. Allie was so excited when this bird visited it. She was sad that it didn't end up making its home here, but she decided her birdhouse was more like a bird hotel.
The girls and I were playing with sidewalk chalk in the front of the house one day, when we noticed this bird sitting in the grass right next to our walkway. It's a Purple Martin, and he didn't seem to be scared by us at all. I was able to get within a few feet to take his picture.
My mom loves having hanging flower pots by her front door. We had chains to hang some, so we got three for the front of the house. It made me so happy to get some pretty flowers out there.
We have quite a few Cardinals in the area. There weren't Cardinals where I grew up. The only Cardinals I saw in Seattle were the visiting baseball players from St. Louis.
