BEFORE & AFTER

TODAY......was gorgeous and I just couldn't help but snap a couple shots. I should be..staining the fireplace, doing the laundry, making dinner, sorting the rest of the boxes in the garage that Matthew said had to be gone by Christmas (LAST, or they were all going to the DI, bless his big heart he gave me an extention), seeing who gets kicked off AMIDOL, caulking the beams on the kitchen ceiling so insulation doesn't blow through the cracks when the lion winds huff and puff, and on and on and on. What's a girl to do.? Take some shots in the soft evening sunlight.
TODAY, after ............................ this!
. YESTERDAY, before..........unbelievable!!

Here are some other before's.....and some of the reasons at our house that we
LOVE LOVE spring, except for the BEFORE above.

little piggies
we adore.

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain
