Spring is Here

With the 80 degree days that Indianapolis has been having the past week, Spring has certainly sprung.  The magnolia trees are now in full bloom, the front yard full of dark pink, near purple leaves, and the backyard and deck colored in soft pink.  I thought it would be cute to take a photo of Mia lounging amongst the petals.  So I dressed her up in pink, swept a big pile together, and ... well, she wasn't too keen on the idea as you can see.  Had she not been crying the whole time, I might have made a bigger fluffier pile with less of the icky brown leaves, but I wasn't about to collect only the pink ones for the shot.  Besides, somehow I like this one better.  Oh well, A for effort, right?
