Stop and smell the roses

We moved into our house the middle of November. The last of the firey colored leaves were falling to the ground and our yard was preparing for winter. Little did we know what to expect with the arrival of spring.  Saturday was lovely and with my list of to-do's crossed off I did something I haven't done in a while...I sat back and relaxed. I wondered around the house with my camera in one hand and iPod in the other. I took pictures, sat by the pond, smelled flowers, stared at the clouds, and enjoyed the beauty that is blossoming all around us.
