spring-a-ling-a-ling...

For 3 days we have spent each entire morning outside in the gleaming, wonderful sunshininess that is SPRING! We planted a garden.
Two types of spinach, red lettuce, arugula, sugar snap peas, radishes and soybeans.
Hopefully will plant cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, carrots and cucumbers in pots this coming week. Also planted cilantro and thai basil in pots. i just really hope SOMETHING comes up. If i get one edible thing out of the lot, i will be happy. :D Keeping all of my fingers AND toes crossed.

Yesterday i had Matias make a spring pile. i had him gather some things he found in the front yard that he thought were spring-y. Mostly flowers. They're definitely spring-y.

He used them as his "candlestick", playing as "Jack be nimble..." running back and forth down the sidewalk and LEAPING as he came to the flowers. Yeah... you can see a little flatness in the dandelions.

Overall, its been a fantastic week. If now only it would rain and wash away this pollen that has descended on our lovely little world as a powdery rain. Blanketing everything in itchy, sneeze-inducing yellowness. Blech. Its everywhere... and gets on everything. Blasted oak trees. i love my trees, i really truly do. But THIS, i could do without. RAIN!
