Dishing the dirt...

WHERE ARE YOU, SPRING????

Got my planters ready, but I'm afraid to plant them all up...it's been so cold. Three new fruit trees--Hooray! Another pear (to replace my Mother's Day pear tree that got clobbered by wild monkeys last year ;-), and a plum, and a nectarine. We already have 2 peach trees (see my post from last August) and another pear that survived the wild monkeys).


Look at my beautiful garden, just waiting to be planted....look at my weird, alienesque shadow...wish my legs were that long...


My hunk-a-hunk-hunkuvuhman tilled it all up, added compost, and tilled it again...until he got rained out...but isn't it bee-yooo-tee-full???!!!

Today was actually a lovely spring day...I hope the crazy cold is on it's way out...I need to get playing in the dirt!!!!

Playday at the Hansens

Just had to post a few pictures from a play day we had. We had Stickerz fruit snacks for a snack, and here's a picture of the kids.


Zoe (she ate half of her face off by the time I took the picture), McKenzie, Zac, Sadie, Kami. (Alyssa jumped out of the picture...she looked quite silly, too!)

Like mother, like son

We made popcorn the other day, and Zac grabbed all the unpopped kernals before we could throw them out. He said, "I'm gonna plant this in the garden!" (Well, actually, it was more like, "Ine gonna pant deez innuh gahden!") I just had to take pictures of that cute boy of mine...just like his mom, has to plant every seed that comes his way, just to see what might grow.


Jumping on the shovel.

 

Digging with Zoe.


Filling the water can (he has his eyes closed, or half open--just like his mom--in most of his pictures)


Watering the oldmaids (as Zoe steps on all my onions...) I wonder if anything will grow???
