I just love spring! I love the weather change, the color change, the change in where the kids can play {and eat}. The first thing they always want to do when it gets nice out is have a picnic. That works our just fine because our back deck is right off the kitchen through a patio sliding door. They are in and out all the time when its nice out... which saves a lot of sweeping the floor!
Here they are on our front deck. I am not sure why they chose the front, maybe it was less windy. Mac & cheese and strawberries, what more could a kid ask for?
Once the winter breaks, which isn't normally until about now, or even a couple more weeks, we start preparing the ground for our garden and planting tomatoes & green peppers in the house. This year I used egg shells in egg cartons, which I thought was brilliant. In the past I have bought the trays with the little disks of soil that plumps up when you water it. The trays are big and made of a fragile plastic. Then we have to figure out where to store them the rest of the year without them getting damaged. I like the egg shell idea better. We will plant shells and all!
The tomatoes {on the right} were up in just 3-4 days! After putting them out on the deck a week later, some of them grew about an inch in just one afternoon! I was so amazed! Dallas has the garden all tilled and ready for me to plant... whenever I get around to it, that is!
Happy Spring!
