 Forget-me-nots. Beautiful blue color!

It's FINALLY spring in Maine! The weather is beautiful, and it's getting warmer. Everything is growing, flowers are starting to bloom, and we are so glad to be able to wear shorts and sandals! We call Spring "Mud Season" here, because it rains a lot and everything is muddy. We like to make mud pies in the big puddle on our playground.
