Spring, and St. Michaels!

Spring is DEFINITELY here!!  The weather has been amazing, and our neighborhood is in bloom!  The trees are getting beautiful and green, and flowers are popping up everywhere. I took a few pictures of our neighborhood, but I haven't taken many pics of our yard yet this Spring!  I will definitely remedy that.  We worked on our yard a LOT this weekend, and we did a lot of weeding and we also had a delivery of a ton of dirt, and we shoveled and wheel-barrowed the dirt to our backyard to try to get control of some of the erosion!  We put down a lot of grass seed on our new dirt, so we will see how that goes!!  Keep your fingers crossed that we're able to grow some grass in our backyard!
Kevin took a picture of this fox in our neighborhood!!  Isn't it adorable? 

Kevin and Guinness jogging! Guinness was trying to peek back at me to make sure I was coming. 

A whole ton of daffodils in our neighborhood! 

Some beautiful pink-blossomed trees in our neighbor's yard! 

 A few weekends ago Kevin and I went to St. Michaels, MD for a weekend!  It was SO nice to get away for a few days, and the weather was absolutely perfect.  Kevin's parents had given us a gift certificate to an inn that they stay at whenever they're in St. Michaels, so we knew we wanted to use that gift certificate before the busy season started in St. Michaels!  It was nice and quiet when we were there, which was PERFECT.  We drove there Friday right after work, and then we went out to dinner and also hit up a few bars that evening. It was a lovely way to wind-down from the week!  The next morning we were in search of a coffee shop, and we were so happy to find one!  But, it ended up being awkward because I accidentally insulted and pissed off the coffee shop employees.  We walked in, and I was super tired and out of it, and I just asked them for a latte, because I figured everywhere has a latte, right?  And that's my favorite coffee drink.  Well, it turns out this wasn't that kind of coffee shop.  They didn't do espresso-based drinks, but they had about 20 types of coffee beans that they wanted us to choose from for our coffee. We didn't feel like sniffing that many beans, but we tried to be good sports and we sniffed a few and just picked the 3rd one. They were NOT fans of us, but they still made us some amazing french press coffee that we took outside to enjoy away from their judgement.

We were sooo sleepy, but the coffee was really great and woke us right up! 

This was the little cottage we stayed in!  The inn had a main house and like 4 cottages to choose from, so we chose this one.  It was sooo tiny and adorable. We loved it :) 

A cool driftwood horse sculpture! 

The inn had a lovely lawn area with lots of chairs looking out at the water!  We spent a lot of time sitting out here just watching all of the boats and relaxing. 

An adorable duck couple!  We watched them for awhile too.  




We've been working on our house a LOT, and our yard!  I'll have pictures soon.  And we're also getting ready for our trip to Alaska!!  It's coming up so soon, and we're so excited!!  I will definitely have a ton of pictures to share from that trip, so don't you worry :) 

I hope you're all doing really well, and I hope everything is going great for you!!
