~Maple Poplar~: ~It's-a-Happening~

.....Spring that is....Today was my first sighting of a Buttercup! Yep, on my run today....I spotted one. Ahhhh, Spring.....my favorite season.

Now, for the latest.....it's been busy.....Baseball has started up for the boys ...and Hillary too. But the boys have mostly been the ones with practices. Friday night we had a meal in Claremont with the Browns.....Saturday we had several friends of ours over for a springtime cookout ....and some adult (slash) kid- fun :) Sunday the boys enjoyed their last day of ski season....in might I add.....65 degree weather! Yeah, cray.

Anyway, work is going well. ...Friday I will chaperon with Brock on a trip to Gettysburg, PA. We will visit all sorts of places...pictures will soon follow. Cooper will go to Plimoth Plantation soon ....Hillary to a dairy farm with school......and next week....yes, next week.....we see our family! We will meet our parents in Florida for a family vacation! Here are some pics of late....

Oh, and if you haven't gotten to see this....you should......especially if you are from Vermont...coming on PBS this month.......followed the making of this...since its beginning.....

Brock at practice....took from the glass bridge at work....one sunny evening.....

The result.....the electricity went out....he came out of hiding and actually enjoyed outside with his lovely brothers and sisters....

Coop doing what he do...

My mom sent these to me and the one below (of her garden this year)....these were the flowers she and Cooper hand picked by the creek and transplanted when he was little....and still bloom every year in early spring.
