  7. pretty pretty PRETTY!!! (which is why I haven’t let the dudes eat a single bite of the flowers, which I’m keeping around for cheery Easter decor. the clams, however, they happily consumed) 🙂

  8. I bought flowers for my house just to feel the signs of spring…it was a nice day now we are in rain…..I guess it’s better than snow! Happy Monday!
