I love this time of year because my favorite flower is in bloom, the lilac. These big bushes have the sweetest scent and brighten up the world for only two weeks at a time. I took these pictures on a walk this past weekend.

Spring Fever
by Meredith
Spring is here and the weather is great. Get out and enjoy it! Here are my suggestions for spring fun.
Mini golf: Yes, this activity may evoke certain middle school memories you'd rather forget, but it can also make for an awesome activity with someone special.
Hikes: Enjoy all the colors that nature has to offer and get off the beaten path.
Painting: Pick up some sturdy paper and paint (watercolor, acrylic, etc) at your nearby craft store, then find a beautiful spot to relax outside. Just paint what you see - it doesn't need to be perfect! I bet you'll find this activity relaxing. I sure do.
Pack a Picnic: Forget going out to eat, make lunch and pack it up for an afternoon picnic! Find a secluded spot on the beach, in a park, or on a hiking trail to enjoy the time together!
Go to a baseball game: Springtime is synonymous with baseball season, so ab your jerseys and hit up a home game for your favorite team.

Great Weekend
by Meredith
Saturday I held a bridal shower for my very good friend who is getting married in September. It turned out perfect. While she was opening gifts I tried making one of those 'bow bouquets' made out of the bows and ribbon from the gifts given. The tradition is that then the bride will use it at her rehearsal. It turned out pretty well! All you need are two paper plates, a stapler and scissors. Staple the two plates together for more stability and cut a hole through the middle. Decorate with bows and fold the ribbons in half and loop with a knot about four inches down so part sticks up on top and the rest can drape down through the center hole. This will allow the bride something to hold onto! Let me know if you have any questions! I'm happy to explain better!
Sunday I took a walk with Jesse by Minnehaha Falls, as you know I love that area. It was a perfect Minnesota Spring day.

Minnehaha Falls
by Meredith
Spring is here! We've been blessed in Minnesota with an easy winter and early spring, but now the season has caught up with the kind of weather we've been having! Besides the warm weather, I love the fresh scents of floral and produce growing. I took a walk with my family this past weekend at a favorite spot of many Minneapolis natives, Minnehaha Falls.
