Yep, It's Spring!

And all we can say is we're super glad. =)

So here's a post of pictures from around our garden and property - hope you enjoy!! I might have overdone it... but I just love the gorgeous colors that spring's brought!

After what seemed like a loooooooong winter, we're thrilled to see the gorgeous spring flowers and feel that warm sunshine.

We've already begun planting the garden... let's see. So far we've planted broccoli, lettuce, some herbs (basil, cilantro, parsley), cauliflower, cabbage, and onions. We've also pruned our raspberries, thinned our strawberries, and taken care of the perennials from last year. (splitting, separating, re-planting, you get the idea.)

I think it'll be a pretty good year for the garden - it's been a nice wet spring so far, and, even though we don't really love the rain, we know that it means we don't have to start watering quite yet!

I love these blue forget-me-nots - you practically can't kill them! And they come back every year. And you can separate them really easily, so what started out as one little bush in the corner of our garden has been split into about six thriving plants that get bigger and prettier each day!!
