Spring Is Sprung

In warm weather, Matthew and I frequently walk around the outside of the house checking on all the plants to see how they are growing.  Today as we walked around the house after preschool we saw daffodils almost ready to bloom, tulips sending up lots of leaves, daisies and day lilies just peeking up from the dirt, etc.  There were also lots of weeds, but Matthew sees them as beautiful flowers rather than a garden nuisance.  He noticed one with a purple blossom and asked, "What are these purple beauties?"  And he made sure to point out to me "the best" ones which were the yellow heads of dandelions.  But my favorite of today's observations?  Upon pointing out to Matthew the leaves just beginning to emerge from the branches of an apple tree, he proclaimed, "Oh!  Those are the butts!"
