Yesterday the dark clouds cleared away to reveal a beautiful afternoon.
We went for a short walk around the neighborhood, and BigBoy and I took our cameras along.
Once he saw me snapping a few photos of flowers, he insisted on taking photos of all of them. (He was really cute with his camera. I wish I had taken a picture of him taking a picture.)
Miss Pearline was dressed to impress in all her Spring glory.
Check out the limbs on that old gal. ;)

What are these called? Another flower BigBoy insisted we photograph, and I wish I had in my own yard. They come back fuller every year, it seems.
The hubs loves the grass in this yard so much, he -- well, you can see for yourself what he does. ;)
Um, yeah, I told you it was a pretty day.
For my hometown folks, I took the time to educate my son on the fact that irises are the state flower of our own Tennessee. I mean really, can you beat something that is naturally purple? Why aren't people purple, God? Why are we all boring neutral colors? I could handle a turquoise toddler, I promise!
As I said, almost everything resembling a flower was photographed...
Delicate...
and not so delicate flowers.
Aw, I shouldn't say that. She's a sweetie and I love her very very much.
But she's definitely not a pansy.

I think the purple-ish flower that comes back every year is called a "Creeping Phlox". I just planted 2 last week. I plan on getting more soon. They are so pretty and come in purple, pinks and white. I love them!
My sis introduced me to them.
It seems that everyone knows the name of these but me! I Actually looked for some last Spring after they were blooming but all they had left were the white ones. I want some bad!
Lowe's at Franklin has some gorgeous ones!!!!! I am planting some too and they spread like wild fire I hear!! Love the flower pictures!!!
The pictures are beautiful. I love Spring. Why can't it just stay Spring all year ?! Hope you are feeling better now. Feeling bad sucks! I can't wait to see you all soon. Love you

Oh, I bet your neighborhood is beautiful this time of year, Shelley!
Daddy - yes, I am feeling better, thanks. The pressure in my head that was causing so many headaches and migraines seems to have gone away.
And I'm with you, Spring all year long!!!
