Wednesday

Snooooooooo!

We woke up this morning to snow...on April 1st! Yuck!
Tehya and I were both pretty bummed out to see what was going on outside, but Ada rushed to the living room window and yelled excitedly "snooooooooooo!!!!!"
I guess Dan isnt the only snowbird in our house!


Our Greenhouse experiment

Tehya and I have decided to try something new this year. We are starting some flower seeds in an indoor "greenhouse" container. Tehya is my garden helper, so she really enjoyed filling the cubes with dirt and deciding which section got what type of seeds. We are trying to germinate black eyed susans, coneflowers, 2 different kinds of poppies, snapdragons and a couple of others that we thought looked pretty on the seed packages!

House Plant Update

My peace lilly is currently blooming, and the rubber plant and african violet love there new spots on our kitchen counter by the window
My other violets that used to be at my office are doing beautifully by our other kitchen window. They seem to like being at home more than at work.....I think I agree with them!


Friday

Daddy Makes Mommy's Day!


Dan came home a couple of days ago with a wonderful surprise for me....2 bunches of flowers! What a way to make my day! He said he saw them at the store and thought I would like them, and boy was he right!
(And yes, I did make sure that he didn't make any large purchases that I wasnt aware of!)

Tuesday

Gardening with Grandma

The very beginnings of our new walkway garden
Tehya and Grandma Sue busy planting our new botanical treasures

Tehya says she is "Grandma's Little Gardener"

Hopefully she inherits more of Grandma's green thumb than mom did!


Finished product with everything planted...Now we just wait for it to grow!

Garden contains Blackeyed Susan Daylily, Stella Daylily, Tigerlily, Larkspur Delphinium, 2 types of Sedum, and Catmint - all are supposed to attract butterflies!
