Week 12: Hunger

{ Project 52 Week 12: Hunger }

This weeks theme is: Hunger. 

I've been hungry for spring all winter. 

I've been hungry for the fresh scent of damp soil sprinkled with spring rain. 

I've been hungry for the vivid green of new life. 

I've been hungry for tender buds and sprouts just beginning to form. 

Thanks to our mild winter, I've been feasting on spring all week. 

Within the week, the ground has thawed, 

dull browns have greened and 

spring showers have bathed young foliage. 

I'm full, overflowing and so happy that spring is here!

Week 11: The 'Eyes' of March

{ Project 52 Week 11: The 'Eyes' of March }

It's already Week 11 of Project 52 and the theme is: The 'Eyes' of March. And these are some of the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. These sweet little pale green eyes are the beginning of new life. They are the start of what will become the bright green foliage of a potato plant. They'll grow taller and taller throughout the summer, reaching for the sky and the warmth of the sun. They'll sprout yummy new baby potatoes below the soil surface. These eyes are wide open and ready for a fresh spring day to set root in the garden.

Week 10: Be Still

{ Project 52 Week 10: Be Still }

It's Week 10 and I'm linking up with Life With My Three Boybarians for Project 52. This weeks theme is: Be Still.

Spring seems to have sprung abruptly here in MN, with record shattering high temps. The snow that piled on us a couple of weeks ago is nearly gone and puddles are forming everywhere. In that case, it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to be still when there are perfectly good puddles to jump into...at least for this little preschooler of mine. He's drawn to puddles like a moth to a flame. He did stand still though, if only for a moment, briefly filled with anticipation before the first big SPLASH. Hello spring, we are so happy you are here early!

Week 9: A Great Leap

{ Project 52 Week 9: A Great Leap }

It's Week 9 and I'm linking up with Life With My 3 Boybarians for Project 52. I had no idea what I was going to photograph for this weeks theme: A Great Leap, but then it happened, our first big snow storm of the year. So on leap day, the day of the snow storm, my elementary schooler had his first ever snow day…NO SCHOOL! We spent a lot of time out in the fresh snow. Later in the day, after the snow plows had been through the neighborhood, big piles were left behind, irresistible to this little stunt guy. He leapt and leapt and leapt, doing twists, turns and kicks to his hearts content. Many GREAT LEAPS on leap day!
