It was probably 50-55 degrees today and sunny! It felt like spring!
I pruned the rose beast (do you think I pruned too much?) And notice the Christmas wreath? I forgot it was there, but that's gone now too.
Nathan always likes to garden with me (especially when he can find worms). When he saw me pruning roses, he asked if he could help. He was pretending it was a monster he had to defeat in a video game (everything is a video game to these kids).
"Look at this monster I defeated!" Nathan told me and showed me this. See the bikes and trikes in the distance?? I also went on a short jog with Rocket in the sunny weather. On my jog some little kids on another street were kind of scared of Rocket. I told them, "Don't worry, he's only eaten one kid." One of the kids looked worried and said, "What kind?" I said, "A little one...about your size." Then I said I was just joking. They laughed.
Alex saw Nathan and wanted to do it too.
Nathan said, "Look! Serious clouds!" (Cirrus)
One of my favorite things about spring, and part of my gardening bug, is watching the plants wake up. I always tell the kids, "Look!"--like I just found gold, when we find the first growth of spring (which was today). Look, you reader, BUDS!
DAFFODILS!
MORE BUDS!
When we're outside in the nice weather and the kids play outside and I garden, Rocket either runs with the kids or sits by me while I garden. If I'm not gardening, I'll throw the ball with him. He really enjoys being outside with us and goes REALLY CRAZY if he can't be outside with us.
Nathan made a spear. Then all the other kids wanted to make spears, too.
When it's nice weather, all the kids on the street come out and play. Do you like Katherine's cute face she is making?
BUDS ON THE NECTARINE TREE! (it's not dead!)
Katherine's happy face and her new spring outfit.
BUDS AND A BLUE SUNNY SKY!
A tiny sprout on the rose beast (among the dead leaves):
But... there are still traces of winter... but spring is around the corner!!!

Let me guess you are ready for spring.... Looks like everyone was having fun. Sure do love you.
Dad
Gotta love the spring. I was in the same mood today and noticed the same things. I've gotta get out and spray everything here, though, before all the fungus takes over! :) I'm planting the seeds indoors today, and collecting rocks for the pond and a vegetable garden. You should've seen the big rocks I got! :) Wish we could garden together.
Is that the dog that pooped on ya!!! lol :)
oh and love the christmas wreath ;)
It was beautiful today, wasn't it! I think I was probably napping during the warmest part of the day, though. By the way, thanks for recommending SparkPeople. Between that and what I already do, and what I needed to be doing (exercise), it has given me a great start. I've already lost a pound!
Man, it snowed more yesterday here. UGH! Maybe that sunshine is coming our way. I can't wait for spring!!!! Oh, and I am so mad that I can't be there to watch Katie grow. I miss her, and the rest of you.
