Ace riding his bike without the training wheels for the first time! He was so excited! This photo was taken on February 20. Every chance he gets he wants to go outside and ride it. The weather has been so beautiful lately, who can refuse?We spend some time every afternoon, after homework is done, playing outdoors. We play on the playset for awhile and then we usually play a game of tag or hide-and-seek. You know how I enjoy these
breezy spring afternoons...
You know it's springtime around here because you see all the baby animals roaming the fields. Our neighbor's horses had foals this year so the boys were very excited to pet and help feed them the other day.Last year we had
Hopper and over a dozen
peeps but we haven't had any new additions yet this year. We did plant the garden over the weekend though, well DH actually planted the garden, but I've helped water it! :) I have been so busy this year with the publication of
A Pocketful of Seeds and other projects I've been working on that I haven't had much time to enjoy the outdoors. Hopefully, I've cut out some of the things in my schedule that were sucking up way too much time and I will be able to start spending more time in the garden and outside in general.For those of you getting ready to plant your spring gardens, you might want to check out
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. In my opinion, they have the best variety of seeds and prices. I prefer heirloom seeds because I like to be able to take the seeds from the fruits and vegetables I grow each year and re-plant them the following season. You can't do that with hybrid seeds.I'm still, by far, a novice gardener but I enjoy it so much and I learn a little more with each attempt. The way I figure it, even if nothing grows, I can still enjoy
these. :)Well, gotta run! Hope you all are enjoying the warmer temps!
