Spring Greening

This weekend the weather was finally gorgeous again! We spent the entire day outside on Saturday and we were loving it! The lawn is greening up and my tulips and daffodils are starting to come up.

Hooray for green and hooray for spring! We even planted our early spring crop of peas and lettuce, since they do well in slightly chilly weather. We are looking forward to planting the rest of our garden in the coming months. I just love picking and eating tomatoes, peppers, and berries... especially ones that we grew ourselves. They taste SO good!

Thinking about our lovely garden from last year reminded me of this picture. Apparently I am not the only one who enjoys veggies fresh from the garden.

I remember last year how much Jonah wanted to eat this green pepper right after we picked it. I snapped this photo at just the right moment, and it still cracks me up.

I hope you are enjoying some green too. If not, click on the button below to see some more green... and faces of course.

  11. Hey, I fit right in ~ I'm GREEN with envy!!! We're still 7-8 weeks away from being able to plant the frost-resistant veggies!!

    I DO love fresh, homegrown garden produce (just not the actual gardening ~ fortunately, my husband does!) and I can hardly wait. Guess we'll just wait a little longer!

  15. Green, green, green. And cute faces. I remember many an Easter in Utah while the kids were growing up when we would take their Easter pictures next to my daffodils. Half the time, the flowers were poking their heads through a late and unexpected 3 inches of snow!

  24. Ahhhh! What a sweet shot!! I'm going to be growing some veggies in tubs on my back porch this year. We aren't allowed to dig up the grass for gardens, so I have to use special breeds for pots/tubs. But I WILL have fresh veggies finally!!!
