The other Arlington

What a fun thing to be a Grandma! This last little while Camille played several songs in a recital at her teacher's home. I always enjoyed watching my kids perform or participate in different things and it is no less fun as a Grandma! Camille did great. She played several songs_- all by heart. Two she played by herself.
And one she played with her teacher as a duet!
The next day Lindsey played the piano at her ward. She played Come Thou Fount and there weren't many dry eyes in the room! It was wonderful.
Both girls are just as pretty as their songs!
Rhubarb is coming up. Can't believe the season is starting so early this year!
We planted a forsythia a couple of years ago. When it blooms it is time to prune the roses! My mom bought my forsythia at the old house, but it was way too huge to bring.
Our purple azaleas are popping out now. Need to finish the weeding around them so they stand out!
We got this plant for Valentine's day. it is a Pink Dawn Viburnum. They have several at the temple grounds. They smell delicious this time of year. Ours is very small, but they grow quickly.
My honeysuckle vine that we planted last summer. It really likes it's little corner. Hopefully it will grow up and around the end of our deck by our bedroom. It smells so lovely on a warm August night.
A closeup of a branch of our maple tree in the back yard. The leaves turn green in the summer, and bright red in the fall.
It's hard to tell how red the tree looks to us!
Jeff pruned a flowering tree that had it's branches broken last winter with the snow.

Congratulations, Camille and Lindsey. Great pictures, Mom. I want spring to come here, too.

When you get through with school and move back to the Northwest you too will enjoy early springs! :)
