Miniature Pumpkin Patch

I was really excited to see the pumpkins we planted sprouting out of the soil. With all the warm weather we've been having, I suspect we'll have to transplant these delicate little darlings outdoors a lot sooner than we planned. Everything we planted has been growing so fast, I'm afraid they are going to outgrow their little containers. Looks like I'll be getting the ground ready this weekend. I can't wait to start tilling our new garden!

Signs of life

Hooray! Our tomato plants have started to grow! I don't know why I feel such a sense of accomplishment, they did all the work. I am really nervous now about accidentally killing them. Before when it was just a pile of dirt I was watering, I didn't really think about it too much. Now that there a little plants looking up at me and I feel much more responsible for their survival. I have had to bring them in off the porch the last couple of nights because the temperature has been below freezing. It is quite exciting, though, and I can't wait until it is time to transport them into the ground outside. Ari is excited too about the new little ones, he likes to count them. I'll keep updating as we progress on our first gardening adventure.

Sprung

Spring has sprung, as they say. Signs of new life are springing up all around and I couldn't be happier. We have plans this week to take the dogs to the park and I'm planning to start riding my bike to work again. The mornings will be cold, but it looks like the days will be warm. Hooray! What an exciting time of year.

Ari is anxious to get out the house and play on his swing set and go to the park. We were outside the other day taking pictures of nature in the warm mid-day sun, he with his camera, and me with mine. He took some pretty good photos as well. Keep the beauty coming spring, we are ready!
