Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Happy Spring : )

It was cold this morning but the sun came out again and it made for a pretty day.  I daydreamed about walking around the lake. : )

Ken started our taxes and I did a lot of reading again with some house chores spaced out between reading.

We decided to go out to eat since it seems like it's  been such a long time.  It was such a treat to get out of the house and sit in a restaurant.  Besides I think Ken deserved a dinner out too.: )

I am glad that spring has arrived and though it is still cold out, I know that it will be warming up soon.  I've noticed a few yellow daffodils here and there as we drive down the road.  Soon there will be spring colors everywhere - a new beginning is just waiting to burst into color.

A nice quiet evening here at home - there's a lot to be said for a nice quiet evening at home. : )

I hope you have enjoyed this first day of spring.
Happyone : )

I can imagine you are missing your walks. Glad you two were able to get out and enjoy dinner.
Happy Spring.

Happy spring to you too! I agree, there is a lot to be said for a nice, quiet evening at home! Yes, it is tax time. Charly is off next week and will be doing ours then! Hope you have a nice evening and a good day tomorrow.

It didn't feel much like the first day of spring here, and there is even some winter weather mentioned in the forecast for the next several days!

I always enjoy going out to eat! Hope you had a good time!

Doesn't feel much like spring here, Karen. It was 15 degrees early this morning on our deck.. AND--we had snow flurries last night... Guess we need to tell Ole Man Winter that he needs to pack it up and go home!!!! ha

Hugs,
Betsy

Glad that you're feeling better all the time. Are you able to eat any of that ice cream? That would help me LOL
