Even though this is a photo from the Birds and Bloom magazine, we have similar little cute and fresh bulbs beginning to bloom in our yard.  And today (Friday, March 20, 2009) it is 70 degrees outside and I'm lovin' it.  The sun is shining and the fresh air is welcome to the lungs and the spirit.  HOORAY for Springtime!  Look out for the beginning of next week, however, as it is forecast to snow again.  Oh well, that is the way it goes in Utah in Spring.  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            St. Patrick's Day was the number ?? (a number greater than 20 and less than 100) birthday for my dear friend, LINDA, and here we are having lunch at Pei Wei where we will also enjoy the Nothing Bundt cakes.  After our great and fun lunch, we went shopping.  We had a great day with lots of laughs (as usual).  It's does wonders for the soul to have a great friend to pal around with and enjoy the good times as well as be there for each other during the sad times.  Our husbands are understanding of our friendship and indeed, the four of us have great times together as well.  MANY HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO COME.....LINDA!

This is a beautiful rendition of the song "Broken".  The singer Cori Connors lives in Farmington.  It makes me happy to read and hear the words.
I hope you will enjoy it as I did.

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, so I am wishing all you who have Irish backgrounds a HAPPY ST. PAT'S DAY.  

And to my friend, LINDA, I am wishing you a very happy birthday on March 17th. We will do our celebrating on the 16th with a grand birthday cake, a power lunch, and lots of shopping and fun, fun, fun...... and oh yeah, more fun!

March is finally here and I am very excited to see signs of Spring with green things poking out of the ground, soon to have some sort of flower attached to the end, so I'm thinking whatever snows come now - they won't be around for long.  I love the spring time.  It's full of life and hope and a promise for beautiful things to come.
