Weekly Gratitude - Longer Days

>> Friday, April 16, 2010 – gratitude, outdoors, seasons

I think everyone appreciates the longer days Spring brings. The kids, dogs, families all migrate outside and the neighborhood is filled with sounds of fun.

agent713 – (April 19, 2010 at 10:08 AM): What a gorgeous photo!!!
I've been enjoying the longer days as well. Great job!
