Spring Fever!

Spring 2010 (not a typo...I'm this far behind) was filled with outdoor projects at home.  I decided to make the flowerbed around the storage building into a container flower garden.  Both of the urns are now the same color which looks better, but I still need something to hang on the wall above since there is so much empty space (took me a while to talk Michael into this because he didn't want to drill a hole in "his" building).  I'm hoping that Fin & Feather craft fair later this fall has just what I need.

 The girls and Drake planted 2 boxed vegetable gardens.  They yielded about 8 green beans and 1 cantaloupe!  Ha!  But, they enjoyed it!  And Michael resolved to make a much bigger garden next year!

I assured Michael that I could handle painting the steel entrance to our drive by myself.  And I did...but I totally underestimated how long it would take.  The mailman checked on my progress each day and was impressed with my work.  Ha!  It did turn out nice, if I do say so myself.

Just couldn't resist capturing this on camera...our pasture full of yellow wildflowers with one of the old barns in the distance.  You can't help but feel renewed in the spring when you witness

the beauty of our earth in landscapes such as this!

And who could resist these two playing hide-and-seek in Ms. Inita's flowers?
