Spring Has Sprung!

The signs are everywhere!

Flowers are blooming (Holly, these are from your yard! Yes, I had to edit it... sorry...)...

People are out for joyrides...

Crane flies are EVERYWHERE (folks, these are NOT giant mosquitoes!)... this poor thing already lost a leg... boo hoo... according to Wikipedia, adults either drink nectar or don't eat, so you don't have to fear they are bloodthirsty... =P

Marika's preschool class had a field trip to Lowes today. The class seemed to really enjoy themselves... especially the kid who was drinking water from the flowers... =)

Somehow, we were all inspired to go home and work on our gardens...

After a tour of the garden area, the kids were taught how to plant things. Marika got a pink dianthus and went to work. As soon as she came home, she dutifully watered it. Doesn't she look cute in her Lowes apron?

We also decided it was a wonderful time for her to plant her birthday flowers. Her good friends gave her some flower seeds and a bunch of gardening things, so we picked up some seed starter soil and fiber pots at Lowes and started the process. Now, we just have to wait and see...

(See, I knew those popsicle sticks would come in handy someday! =P)

  1. Are those purple/pinkish flowers from my yeard too?

  2. Oops! You were right! The pictures were right after our visit to your house - and right before the kids on the field trip - so I was mistaken. But the flowers in your yard look great!

  3. So I re-edited the pictures and they are now correct. =)
