the goings ons arounds here

With Spring coming on, I love to see the flowers coming back. I never seem to remember what I planted the previous year, so I was happy to see these pretty purples come back this year.


And even more happy that they survived this from last weekend:



I guess we jumped the gun on returning the patio furniture to the deck. And that's not where we put them... the wind was pretty strong and moved everything around. I guess we're just lucky the canopy is still intact...



And here are a few pictures from March.

We went to the duck pond one day to feed the ducks and fish and have a picnic. (That was the same weekend my parents had a blizzard at home in North Dakota... weather is a strange thing!)




And isn't it funny how natural it is for kids to put olives on all their fingers? I love it.

And I'm glad it makes them so happy too!
