the world is waking up

the anticipation is building in the dietsche household with the official start of spring just a few days away. i can't tell you how excited i was to see this patch of dirt emerge from underneath the pile of snow that has hidden it for the past months. oh, sweet, sweet dirt, how i have missed you. (though i quickly recalled how easily that beautiful dirt makes its way onto my chidren's clothes, shoes, my floor... but let's not dwell on that for now.) march in michigan may be messy, but it is also full of hope. the robins are returning, the trees are budding, and each day i wait and watch anxiously for the new little bits of green as they begin to appear in my perennial garden.

so... here's hoping this is last of this season's icy pictures!
