Spring in the Midwest: April 2015

I love the early signs of spring.  Around here, that means:

Budding trees.

 

Tulips starting to sprout.

Inevitable dandelions popping up randomly.

Yard work to be done.

 

And pups by your side.


What does spring look like in your yard?

Reading List

My husband & I are traveling soon, and we’ll be enduring some long flights.  I figure I’ll need at least two books to keep me busy.  I'm currently on Chapter 7 of Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.

via Amazon

I've been working on this book for a solid year & a half.  I don't know whether it's hard to get into, or if I'm just not making the time to read it...

And because as if reading one book wasn't enough, I've also started Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg.  I'm borrowing it from a friend who recommended it to me.

via Amazon

Below is a reading list I’ve put together of books that I’ve heard good things about.  Have you read any of these?

Yes Please

Happy Sunday.
