Okay, you all know how I love Idaho! Really, I love the summer, Alturas Lake, Hunter's fishing, hiking, marshmellow roasts in the back yard, tennis, barbeques. And Fall, love it! The trees changing, getting that butterfly feeling for the holidays and family and friends, school starting, Matt and the kids hunting trips. And you all know how I feel about winter here. There's just too much fun to be had with the snow. But spring . . . not so much! Ugh! If the weather is semi-warm, it's okay, but it's ugly. The melting snow uncovers all of our litter and scat and dead weeds. It's muddy, and in one day Idaho can have psychotic warming sun and then a blizzardy blowing wind or sleety snow or snowy rain, so even if you're going to brave the mud to get out in it, you can't really get away from the elements. So I've decided I'm going to find things that make me happy in the spring. I'll post them as they come.
Polka Dots! Okay, okay, I know you can have polka dots anytime of year. For me, polka dots say spring, at least what spring is supposed to be. You know what I mean--festive, new beginnings, colored eggs, confetti, the color of flowers that should be growing outside my windows. So today, it's polka dots for me. They give me smile!

Tana, those polka dots are for you! I know you are a polka dot girl. Love that about you.
I'm glad that you stay so positive! You are such a great example of that. For some reason since moving here, I have had a HARD time with that. I have totally watched myself turn into a grump. I need to get over it and think positively. And polka dots DO say spring!
This is also my least favorite time of year. If it is going to be cold, it better be white with snow...not this gray, muddy, cold mess...so I will happily awate your positives and put Anna in her polka dot tights tomorrow. :)
