Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, the weather could not have been any more perfect! The sun was shining, we reached 55 degrees and the birds were busy chirping. My parents came up for a visit and after the celebrating with an Easter buffet, my husband, mother and I went for a "nature walk" At the Old Bay Port Cemetery. There we found naturalized lily's, spiderwarts and sedum's all awakening beneath the towering canopy of oak trees.

After my parents left, my husband and I took our respective places in the yard, me clearing out flowerbeds, and Brian on leaf duty. I was able to clean everything up and sow some flower seeds, mostly poppies and a few violas. It was so exciting to see all of the new growth on everything. It amazes me how perennials just know when the time is right to pop even when we have strange weather like we have been having lately. I also planted the peas and the radishes. They are sure to get a good dose of rain this week as it is supposed to rain every day now until Friday!

I was also very excited to find some old windows that someone had put to the side of the road. They make really good impromptu cod frames when leaned up against each other. That is where my kale spent the weekend days, safe under glass on the deck. I can't wait to get them tough enough to plant out as they are getting Huge!
