National Lawn and Garden Month
The flowers are blooming and the lawn is...Very long...
We have a cherry tree in our front yard and under it are all sorts of pretty flowers. The daffodils and tulips are mainly the only ones in bloom right now but later this summer there will be more.
The tree it's self has just started blooming. The bumble bees love it and when the wind blows it looks like it's snowing! I love this tree!

I sent my pen pals a lot of letters this month - and every month!
I also sent our Easter cards to a couple friends.

We decorated for Easter in April. Mom bought a pretty garland thing, covered in fake eggs. It's very cute. We even put a little angel bunny on top of it!
National Two Different Colored Shoes Day
Today I wore Two different Sandals (one black one brown). It was very uncomfortable cause the soles were different thicknesses. Happy Two different colored shoes day!
And again ballet messed with my holiday a bit. I had to wear my ballet shoes that are the same color...but as I said before, they are technically slippers!
