Extreme fatigue, coupled with a period of intense business, propels me to post a bunch of pictures that the grandparents will love (and perhaps a few others who might think my kids are cute), thus saving my words for Monday.

These are the flowers God made so kids would have something to offer.

Some people have been curious about Hunter. It looks like we can keep him. He’s responding better to training.

He’s still a proud ole thing. And nothing stops him from jumping on Young Lady and biting her jacket, and then running away when I come to discipline him. Stubborn scrap of fur.

Every once in awhile you get cut right down to the roots, and there’s nothing for it but to grow right back.
Your photos always leave me wanting more.
Thank you OTG! I needed this encouragement today. π
I’m so happy to hear that Hunter is responding better to training. He has gotten bigger.
Your kids are always cute.
The flowers at the end are gorgeous. What kind are they?![My Profile](https://aladyinfrance.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

I’m not sure … (Mom – help me out here!) π
I don’t think it’s a crocus – maybe either a hyacinth or a narcissum? (sp)? Probably a hyacinth. It’s a perennial so it comes up each year without me doing anything. Love that.
Glad to hear Hunter’s improved. Oh I hope he stops biting though!
Looks like pretty good Spring weather, eh?![My Profile](https://aladyinfrance.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

Its nice to see pictures of vibrant flowers like that esp when all I can outside my window is grey and rain.
Love the term “Stubborn scrap of fur”.![My Profile](https://aladyinfrance.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

Love your take on the dandelions. I love them – a strong sign of spring. My husband hates them and kills them unmercifully. I always give them a little flower high five for surviving the herbicide in our yard each year. π![My Profile](https://aladyinfrance.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

Yep. Cute. One of the things I adore most about blogging is watching other mothers’ kids grow and change and fly and all that trite mother stuff. I don’t think any other generation of mothers has been able to see this reflected back at them in such a profound way.![My Profile](https://aladyinfrance.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

That’s so true! We have a special generation in this way. I’m even going to get to meet a blogger and her kids, which is even more fun!
Oh I am glad to hear Hunter has improved!! Hoping they have given you some tricks to stop that coat biting?![My Profile](https://aladyinfrance.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

Do you ever remember dragging those dandelions across your skin? I thought it was so cool to die my skin yellow.![My Profile](https://aladyinfrance.com/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

I had completely forgotten about dandelion paint until you wrote that. See, that’s why I need you – for that childlike heart.
Tears in my eyes when I saw Hunter. I was so afraid.
Own goal! Oh crapola. Hugs needed…I’m convinced soccer was invented to torture moms.
Your kids are gorgeous…even non-grandparents can see that. π
Thanks for the pics of the grandchildren.
