Welcome to Spring!!




Spring is in the air. So we thought.
Mother nature keeps changing her mind.
Monday was so nice the girls got their kites out and were playing in the wind.






We get quite the gusts across our back yard. It's perfect we don't have to go anywhere but outside to fly kites. Good thing we enjoyed the day,














because next thing we know it's snowing again. From sunny 71 to snowy 37 the next day. Welcome to spring in Cache Valley.



I guess that's why you're not suppose to plant outside 'till the end of may. The girls still enjoyed the great outdoors running through the snow barefoot. Something I think they learned from one of their Aunts!! It seems to be melting today.
I'm excited to get going on the planters.
Goal: this year my planters will be finished so I don't have to redo them again (for the 3rd year in a row) next year. I'm tired of having to dig the overgrown grass out of my flowers beds that don't have flowers!!
Anyone have favorite flowers they would like me to know about?? We have lots of space to fill.
I've started Tomatoes, Peppers, argula, a miriad of herbs, and a few flowers so they will be ready to go out as soon as the weather cooperates. I hope they grow well!! Happy Spring to y'all!!

Hey sister. so good to see the girls out playing. That is great that they like to run without shoes through the snow. I can't believe the dramatic changes in weather. Well, Good luck planting. I hope we can find a place to have a garden this year. That would be great! I love you guys!!

I loved this post. If it's any consolation we had exactly the same thing down here. I was wondering how your starts are coming. Good for you. When the girls are down this weekend we're going to plant seeds in the children's garden and hopefully they'll sprout. Last year's fennel came up again so I'm thrilled. Try planting the perennial lemon balm. It makes a soothing drink and flavors fruits and desserts with a lovely lemony flavor.
