spring!

my favourite time of the year is finally here. the flowers are in bloom and the temperature is just nice. i'm currently waiting for the neighbour's cherry blossom tree to flower. some of the branches are on our side of the fence so every year, we would cut a few branches to put in a vase for the house. it's my favourite tree in the backyard because i don't have to look after it but when spring comes, i get to enjoy the flowers too. 

i have two blog entries for yesterday and today but i'm too tired to write them today. i've been up since 5:30 this morning (boo is already on daylight savings time) and i've been on my feet most of the day cooking and baking. Jim had a day off most of his daddy duties because it's Father's Day today. after his Father's Day lunch he had a nice nap while i kept the little rascal entertained. 

i couldn't let the first day of spring go past without a blog entry. so while boo had his nap, i managed to gather these beautiful blooms from our own backyard for this short entry. i never knew how pretty camellia are until today. 

first of August

it's the first day of August. we are one month away from my favourite season of the year. 

as much as i like winter fashion, knee high boots, thick knits and winter coats, spring is definitely my favourite season. the weather is slowly getting warmer and the days are getting longer too. soon, boo will be able to play in the backyard after he comes home from daycare. we'll also be able to spend more time outdoor, take boo to all the different parks in the neighbourhood on the weekends and go for walks around the block after we come home from work. 

another reason why i prefer spring to all the other seasons is that my favourite trees, cherry blossoms, will be in full bloom which brings happiness to my heart. 

i'm so glad we're in the last month of winter. looking forward to spring already!
