Sunshine and Butterflies

This morning, I am thinking of sunshine and butterflies! The day is gorgeous and bright, with mild temperatures. Tomorrow....75*! I am such a "spring chick." I love warm weather.

We have had a rough couple of weeks. My Dad was critically ill and in the hospital for a total of 14 days. He is a man of strong faith and courage and I am pleased to report that he is at home and doing much better. He gave us quite a scare. I spent all day with him last Friday and he told me everything I would ever want to know about gardening; himself,being a Master Gardener. I have decided to write all of his instructions down. Who knows, I may have to get out and get a bit of dirt under my nails this year.

My card today is all about Spring! I love the pretty colors and the sweet butterflies.





Also, a short update on Packer,the sweet puppy that I have diligently worked with all winter....he turned 6 months old on Saturday and is doing fine. We had originally thought him to be a Daschund/Chihuahua mix but now it is clear that he is a Jack Russell/Daschund mix and we recognize his "DAD" everytime he passes through our yard. Once bald and pitiful, Packer now sports a fresh, healthy coat. He has come a long way! He and I are practically joined at the hip. He thinks that I am his mother and I have put so much time and effort into him, he feels like a part of me. Hubby and son are crazy about him also; as is everyone who visits (with the exception of the DSL Tech who fixed my recent internet problems :) For some reason, Packer took an intense disliking to him and would not stop snarling and barking for the entire 3 hours of his visit!

Hope you enjoy your day and may all of your scrapping be "happy."
