Be warned, this post is going to be full of randomness. Complain enough and I will eventually post something. I know I am so behind. We went to the butterfly exhibit in Grand Rapids a few weeks ago and I promise to get those pics up soon. In the meantime, enjoy my random, scatter-brained, musings.
Last Wednesday we woke up to snow on the trees. One week later, I get a sunburn while out in service this afternoon. Go figure! And silly me, I have been in sweater mode for so long that I wore a sweater again today and Whamo! we made it up to 85° today. Wow! On the plus side, this means that the trees are in overdrive blooming out, and it is officially get the garden ready time.
So this is our plan, or the start of our plan anyhow. This year we are going to try "wide row" gardening. Sounds a little easier, a little better. Anything that involves less weeding I am all for. Nothing is planted yet, so if you have any requests, you know, cause you are going to come visit late this summer and you want some homegrown goodness, better get it in quick.
All the little birdies are back including this cute little Chickadee. Spring is for sure finally here! It seems like it took forever this year. But we are very glad for all the extra rain. After a fairly dry summer last year we need that extra rain for the garden. All the rivers and lakes around here are so high. We went to Grand Rapids earlier this week and all the buildings that are built right on the edge of the Grand River have water up over their first floor windows.
This is Gilbert (the dog) and June (the cat). This is their normal perch where they scope out the squirrels who love to come and torment them.
That is all my randomness for today. I promise I have stuff in the works to post and some pics of our little faces for you to see. We miss you all so much!
