We have enough snow on the ground that the girls were out sledding in our yard this past weekend. Yes. Those dots are snowflakes in the air. It was nearly dusk when I took this photo.
Even if winter is lingering longer than we'd like, Chris and Josie spent this past Saturday afternoon getting a few seeds ready for planting. Thank you Lea for my Chinese forget-me-knots.
I can't take any credit for the gardening projects that happen at my house. It's all Chris.
With his K-12 work schedule, he spends his summer days/nights with the girls outside.
Last year, we started a vegetable garden in sunny patch in the woods behind our house.
We're already plotting new ideas for a raised vegetable bed and expanding the garden. Thanks for the inspiration, Sunny!
PS. I'm getting on my plane later this morning for Nashville. I've got a few posts ready for your enjoyment over the next few days.
gardening can't wait!

Enjoy your trip to Nashville. I am so ready for spring, we had a little snow this weekend to. The weather guy said the forsythia has bloomed so that means 2 more snows for us, I will have to see it to believe it!
ReplyDeleteI NEED Chris' green thumb!!! Can y'all come to Texas for a visit?
ReplyDeletePerfect...winter vs. summer. The yard is beautiful. Such a great combination of wildflowers tamed. My kids love to start seeds, but we can't keep the cat (Reagan) out of them. Even fresh flowers are eaten. We save it for outside. Enjoy the time away as best you can! Smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteWhat a tease for spring! LOL
ReplyDeleteHope your trip to Nashville includes some fun and relaxation.
Come soon to us SPRING!
I used to have a kittie called Penny; she went over the rainbow bridge, but while she was still with me, no plant in the house was safe.
ReplyDeleteI eventually gave up on plants and stocked up on cats insted- 4 of them are living with us now, and the only flowery joy I get is my annual display of pansies- OUTSIDE the house.
Seeing how much fun your little princess seemed to have with the planting, maybe I include The Man's offspring in my efforts this year?! A bit of nature for the little city dwellers!
Have fun in Nashville, be safe!
As a teacher, I always enjoyed my summers off! It's so neat that he gets to enjoy his gardening with the girls. I look forward to seeing more of your pretty garden projects.
ReplyDeleteChris is good at this! Your front walkway is giving me evil ideas. Are you planning window boxes for the treehouse?
ReplyDeleteThank you also for the unexpected shout out!
Your landscaping is FABULOUS! Hurry up, spring!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time away!
CANNOT WAIT for spring!!! I love Nashville--have fun and hopefully you'll get to enjoy some warm weather for a few days. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love that you garden from seed. Your garden is stunning and what I dream mine would look like if we had more sun. I hope your trip is good. I recently left my girls for the first time on my own, and it is a little unsettling. Safe travels.
