Spring Has Sprung!

April
by John Updike

It's spring! Farewell
To chills and colds!
The blushing, girlish
World unfolds

Each flower, leaf
And blade of sod-
Small letters sent
To her from God.

The sky's a herd 
Of prancing sheep,
The birds and fields
Abandon sleep,

And jonquils, tulips,
Daffodils
Bloom bright upon
The wide-eyed hills.

All things renew.
All things begin.
At church, they bring
The lilies in.

A Child's Calendar (1965)


 Sophia is so happy it's Spring!  

 We kicked off our week by grilling out on Sunday evening.

 Watch your heels!  

 We (ok, Kris and Sophia) are building a chicken house.  This is the blueprint that Sophia drew up.  They have been working hard this week on it.  More pictures to come!

 On the menu: grilled asparagus with Hollandaise sauce, grilled ciabatta bread with bruschetta and grilled steaks.  Double dang delicious!!
 Notice the bottle in the background?  
REDD'S Apple Ale
Try it.  
Kris gave his golf cart a makeover.  We call it his Duck Dynasty golf cart!  If you haven't watched Duck Dynasty you are missing out!  Wednesday nights on A&E.  

Cheers!
Love,
Sarah
