A wonderful spring day

The problem with power posting is that this all happened like last month! SOO, excuse me if my memory escapes me....

Back when it was wasn't getting hot (like 3 weeks ago...or was it 2?) I decided that it was a beautiful day for planting more vegetable plants. Spencer had dug out our flower beds, and put fresh new dirt in. It was perfect for planting. The weather was so wonderful I couldn't make myself stay inside. So Grace and I planted! And here are our results. I can't tell you how much I love watching our plants grow (well some of them died). I just have such visions for our backyard. Sometimes I get frustrated with how slow things move. But I know that the longer I have to wait, the better it will be when it is all done!

Lovely peppers (some aren't doing so well, but I am trying my darnedest to make them live!), and onions!

This most wonderful Calla Lilli just popped up one day. I didn't even put it there! Don't mind all the weeds...

Exciting plants that are going to make the ugly van go away!

And of course the lovely garden! Our squashes aren't doing so hot this year. Those are my 2nd favorite. I am bummed. I am hoping that when the heat comes they might pick up there pace a little.

My very lovely assistant! Is there anything cuter. I know these pictures might seem random. But this was one of my most favorite days this year! I couldn't help but just fall so very deeply in love with my family and house.
I planted a yellow melon. I am really excited to see how it does. I planted 2, but one already died. So we will see..

This is our very sad lime tree. It was once full of leaves. But sadly it had a nasty run in with Grace, and was left like this. I am really sad too. I really wanted limes.

Parsley!

Of course Basil. I just made some pesto today, with my yummy basil. I love watering this plant. As soon as the water touches the leaves I can smell it.

I can't wait till next spring. I am so sad that it is already gone. Well maybe not according to the calender...but I turned my AC on yesterday. Spring is OVER!
