spring vacation




I'm so sorry I haven't posted in so long. I've had some computer problems. So I'll have to catch everyone up. These are the cool new kites that grandma and papa got for jenna and samuel. They saw them at costco and thought that they were perfect! We've had fun flying around and trying not to get blown away!

Spring!

such a good helper
Before the pruning
I really love spring! It's probably because I live in Ohio. By the time spring comes I am so done with Winter and so thrilled to have warmer weather and see the sun I can hardly stand it! Living here has brought such an appreciation for spring and new growth, I really could never have gotten that anywhere else. So, once spring hits there is so much to do! We pruned the apple trees really well this year so we are hoping for a great crop! We're raking and getting all the leaves out and preparing and starting our garden. I decided this year it's going to be huge! I'm going to try a lot of new things. In the past, I've done tomatoes, basil and zucchini. My favorite things! But this year we are branching out to many new things! I'll keep you posted! SO in preparation for this it takes soooo much work!!! But the results will be so worth it!
