Spring has sprung

After a very long winter, we've turned a corner here in the Midwest. Spring is officially here, and I have proof!
We discovered a family of baby bunnies living under our deck. They are so tiny! The picture below doesn't do justice to how small they are. Adorable. I could've watched this little guy for hours.

We've been watching a robin build this nest on the ledge of the shed in our backyard. Then we saw the three blue eggs she laid and fiercely protected...

Then...they finally hatched! Not the cutest things just yet but undoubtedly they will come into their own!

And last but not least...check out this giant bumblebee checking in on the flowers (you may need to click on the photo to enlarge it and see the bee).

When jogging last night, I could smell the scent of lilacs and apple blossoms in the air--I can't tell you how nice it is to be in the midst of a Michigan spring!
