SPRING?

Yesterday I snapped this photo of beautiful, yellow daffodils around the Shelbyville statue...

Today I took this picture of my backyard.

Can you believe today is the first day of Spring?
And speaking of spring...  Jelly Bean and Apple Jacks really enjoyed the good weather (yesterday) in my tree.

And Kiara and Cody got haircuts.

And my baby girl has been spending a lot of time with these two dogs, and doing her schoolwork for Pathway.

And Kiara finished crocheting a hat.

And I finished reading a really good book:  The Once and Future King by T.H. White

I really enjoyed this version of the King Arthur story.  It is by far one of my favorites.  It is actually several books in one: The Sword and the Stone, The Queen of Air and Darkness, The Ill-Made Knight, The Candle in the Wind and The Book of Merlin.  And I definitely recognized the source for Disney's The Sword and the Stone animated movie and Broadway's musical Camelot.  But this book is good on it's own merits!

This book is a book about being human.  It is about misery and joy that comes with being human.  This book is about innocence and learning - surrounded by love, nurture and nature.  This book is about war and tragedy - morality and consequences.  This book is about philosophy and governments.  It deals with simplistic ideas as well as very difficult moral problems.  It's not an easy book to read, but if you love Arthur as much as I do, this book will make you love him even more!
