Springtime...

Well, it seems springtime is in full swing around here. As soon as the nice weather hits, it's like I'm hit with this obsession to go outside and garden. Unfortunately, this doesn't last all the way through summer, as once the full blown heat kicks in, I tend to melt, quite literally. LOL I need to live somewhere where it gets warm, but not hot, I guess. Shrug. But right now, I am just in love with the color starting to appear in my backyard! I spent the majority of the last few days outback, working in the garden, planting new flowers and such. The boys and I planted sunflowers, corn, a pumpkin (thought they would love watching THAT grow), some tomatoes (roma and celebrity) and some Zinnias. I also have some Oregnao and a few things I planted the other day that haven't had time to sprout, yet. But anyway, thought I would share a little of my garden with you! I just love the springtime! Second ONLY to fall. :)

Pretty Spring Flowers

Spring is in full bloom at my house, and all the flowers are coming out of hiding, enjoying the nice spring weather. My roses are finally blooming, happily, including my two new bushes I recently planted. I think I have 10 total, now. I plan to put one in the front soon, though to replace some plants that didn't make it through last summer's drought that I didn't like enough to replant. (from the people who lived here before) The boys try to pick everything they find blooming, including the roses, which scares me to death. Finally, they're sorta' starting to get it, and will say. "I can't pick those. They will hurt me." Bless them! I also recently planted a raised garden bed, but that will be another post. I hope you all have a lovely Tuesday!
