Spring is FINALLY here to stay in the Upstate area! Every chance we get, we go to the playground and enjoy it before school lets out for the summer in a few weeks. At that time, the playgrounds are always flooded with children. Eliza loves the swings.
This post is an odd assortment of photos, but the other day, Eliza and I were matching. She's grown so much in the last month and she now walks like a big girl.
Gwennie is almost 4 now.
A few days ago we made sandwiches and took them to the park with us to have a little picnic.
This was last week, when the weather was so warm, I thought it must be almost summer! It didn't last of course...and Easter Sunday, we had snow :-)
I planted 2 flats of marigolds for the church flower boxes, 1 flat of petunias, and half a flat of Sweet williams I want to try this year. I'm also trying herbs for the first year. So I planted dill, basil, thyme, mint, and parsley.
I dug out the firepit, because it was quite full of ashes and remnants of some half-burnt trash Dan had tried to burn.
The girls and I gathered all the sticks in the yard
Last year I got the girls a sand box, but they didn't really play in it. This year though, they are the perfect age to enjoy it. They're loving it! I have to really watch Eliza though...she likes to eat the sand (ick).
I'm excited for spring! Besides the pollen, it's one of my favorite seasons. Second only to summer. It's still too early to plant the vegetables indoor unless you have a greenhouse. So those will be planted right after our anniversary in a few weeks.
Hope you all area also enjoying a lovely Spring!
