Ali's Signs of Spring

Hi Bean!

My Challenge Results! Spring was all around here this weekend, and it was one of those times that I feel really blessed to be living in the Bay Area. We had a spring cleaning going on, especially in light of my sister, mom and twins arrival on Tuesday(YIKES). But, we spent a big chunk in the yard! I felt pretty proud of myself for pulling my weight, given that John is the resident gardener. But, that inspired me to take a walk in my neighborhood with Lucy and check out what other signs of Spring I might find. And, of course, I took along my trusty Cannon for the ride. Here's what I saw.



This is my neighbor (god help me, I forget her name. isn't that awful?), who is so sweet. She's got the nicest yard, and it hardly looks like it needs a thing. But, she's out there hacking up the weeds!



This is Christoph, who lives in a little house with the requiste wife and two children. How spring is it to see little kid bikes? (I had to open with the Toy Story bike, love that one).



Pots of Greens ready to go into the ground..



I love how this Freesia is growing by this beautiful big tree. This is so California that it's someone's front yard. Crazy cool.



And, we end our journey back home with a little bit of evidence of what John and I did today.:-)

Thank you for posing the Challenge Jeanne! What fun it was to stroll along and talk to people, explaining that I was on an assignment to find Signs of Spring. It wasn't so scary to ask to take someone's picture after all!

Happy Spring, Jelly Bean! :-)
