Two Easter cards ... for two little grandsons. I was certain we'd need them both, but it's 6:00 PM on Easter evening, and Grandson #2 (now 12 days late) seems to be quite happy right where he is, thank you. I guess this Nonna is a year ahead on her card shopping! I like to journal, and I've been looking forward to starting this one. Soon, surely ... I have one for Little Man, too.

In THIS post I took you for a walk around our yard so you could enjoy Renaissance Man's beautiful flowers. Today, I thought I'd share with you a walk in the woods I took recently ... in case you haven't done that this Spring.
