This was yesterday's golden sunrise, which led to
a beautiful warm day...the last day of March.

The bright early sun created long shadows in the yard...
Spring is here to stay...maybe!?!?!

...More plants are sprouting ...the daffodils are fuller...

The ornamental grasses are showing activity.....

...right along with this Eastern Phoebe...can you see him?
-photos enlarge-The deer have more spring in their walk across the field...
and this squirrel is determined to enter the squirrel proof
bird feeder...every spring the younger squirrels have to learn...
they can't!

Alivia...my youngest grandchild...usually comes back
on Tuesdays...after Kindergarten to spend the day!
This small tree looked like this before she arrived...

After she was here awhile....
it ended up looking....
like this...

She decorated for Easter...
.
and within minutes
.
there was a squirrel checking it out!
Just hope they stay out of the spring-time wreath ...

Alivia and I made for the door!

Ater finishing outside, we went in for lunch...

I had made scalloped potatoes topped with zuchinni
the day before.

That's what blogging does to you...
you end up taking photos of food you make...
or
ones of your granddaughter doing dishes...
which she begs to do...honest!...
.

Alivia always finds time to play with some dolls
while here...

and she did a little more Easter decorating too...

Then we went to the kitchen again....
and this time...it was to....
bake a cake...

which we and grampa...quickly cut into and ate!

So that is how I spent the last day of March...
"-which went out like a lamb- "

...just spending some special time with Alivia...

...and watching her
move the Easter decorations...
around !!!
