You know it's Spring when. . . .

the herd of elk return to the cabin....



Tee ball starts for the next generation!


When hop-scotch is found on the playground


Easter arrives,
with chocolate eggs




and "fluffy" dresses



You know it's Spring when the
Mariners start playing...



and pennant hope still "springs" eternal



Spring is when I have my birthday...
and get a red iPad!!



It's Spring...when outside projects start...


and continue.....


and continues....


and never seems to end....



It's Spring when it's nice enough to play outside....

and willow trees turn magical


and when flowers reappear....


and you really know it's spring...
because it's time to spray cabin clothes
for TICKS

Yep, Spring brings rain and sunshine,

Breezes and windstorms

and Yes, flowers AND ticks~~

Just like life....
you learn to enjoy and endure...
and Love it all!!

  1. Karen do you have to reapply the tick treatment to the clothing each time it is laundered? We were out with the grandkids today and found a tick on little 3 year old Christiano......yuck.

  2. the stuff i found is good for 6 weeks/ 10 washings--which is about tick season--
    I don't remember the name-- have it at the cabin--but I found it online and used it last year and didn't have any tick problems AFTER that--before using the spray I found 'em on me and grandgirl--that's when I started searching the web for a solution--yuck!
    you spray the clothes and then can't wear them for a couple of hours until it dries.
    I'll send you the name when we are back up there.
