It's that time of year, part II

Yep, it's time for those early spring flowers! I'm so excited!

M.D.H. and I picked out these flowers a few weeks ago. I was having a hard time getting around to planting them so he and Duder planted them for me. I love them.

Sweet Cheeks loves them too but the day I took these pictures must have been a melancholy day for her. Look how serious she is, except for the one weird smile - smirk- grimace one.

I bet you can't help but smile when you see this though. Isn't this the greatest chicken EVER!!!!!

We saw this when we were buying pansies and had to have it.

The kids have dubbed him MR. Chicken and they love him too.

I can't help but smile every time I pull in the driveway and see him.

Thoughts I live by

Don't take yourself too seriously.
Never participate in chain letters.
Don't worry about what others think about you because they're probably too busy thinking about themselves and worrying what others think of them to worry about you.
What you lack in talent can be made up for with determination and hard work.
Surround yourself with people and things that make you smile.
Find something you love to do and do it.
Find someone you love to love and tell them.
Take time to read a good book.
Dance whenever you can.
Elephants are always a good idea.
