A Taste of Spring

The jonquils are starting to bloom up the lane and they are always a welcomed site each time this year. Today is expected to get into the 60's so we will venture outside when Nathan gets home from preschool and enjoy the day. Today AnnaBelle is 11 months old!

February Stuff

We've managed to miss every snowstorm predicted for the last few weeks. The air is so dry that i'm shocking everyone so i don't see how it could ever snow anyway. These two have been keeping me extremely busy, from wiping butts to picking up toys and washing tons of clothes, a Mother's work is never done.....But i have managed the time to read some books. I am currently enjoying "Lincoln: A Life of Purpose and Power" by Richard Carwardine. It describes in detail the early political life of young Abe and extends to the White House years. So far it is a good read.

George the kids and I are planning to go to a Civil War artifact exhibit at the Showplace in Richmond this weekend. It will be nice to get out together for a day!

Starting to get an idea of what i want to plant in the garden this spring. Already have a layout in my head as to where i want everything to go. I have started tomato seedlings from a kit i bought online last year that allows you to grow tomatoes inside during the winter. They hang from foiled colored bags and work on a hydroponic type of growing system. It will be cool if we have tomatoes in April!
