Spring has Sprung (finally)

Okay, so it is Mother's Day weekend... this is typically when the garden is underway.  This year we will obviously be behind schedule.  

I have gotten the onions in one of the raised beds, and that is about it!  

We have a lot of work ahead of us in the next few weeks!


The chickens are still inside... the main garden is not yet tilled.  However, there have been a few signs that Spring is finally deciding to arrive - other than the nonstop rain!  So, we took some time to enjoy the little treasures that Mother Nature is begging to share!

Group shot with the Mr. Toad, before he was taken to visit the sandbox, then taken on a wheelbarrow ride, and finally returned safe and sound to his home near the compost bins. (Not sure this is what Mr. Toad had in mind for fun, but the kids seemed to enjoy their friend for a day!)

We were even able to get in our annual Easter Egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's this weekend.  Up until now, the rain has cancelled several planned dates... we were so excited to finally get to run and search for eggs full of candy and coins!  JACKPOT!

On your mark... get set... GO!

The excitement was PRICELESS!
