Welcome Spring!!!






Spring has sprung!! It isn't real warm but the flowers are blooming, I am turning over the dirt to make greater gardens and we are almost through the birthday cake until July. Yeah!!! We have birthdays once a month from January through may and we get really sick of cake. Beau, who made a quick entrance into this world with his Dad and mom's friends as witnesses, turned 12 last week. Next year he will be in junior high. Wow.
Now for the gardens. All winter I hibernate. When spring time comes it is time to plant. It must be because I came from a long line of farmers and peasants. Every year my kids cringe as there is a little less yard to play ball in and a little more gardens to get in the way. Dale has these fantasies about having a nice big vegetable garden, and I really get sick of fighting the weeds and the wild life. I decided that I am digging my flower garden bigger, moving the daylillies and irises to the outside and planting Dale's vegetables in the middle. My thinking is that the daylillies get pretty thick and will minimize the weeds. Wish me luck with this endeavor.
Oh yes and what would life be like without our latest Chantel picture! Again discovered when I download my pics.
