Spring planting

After an insane winter, it's starting to finally feel like spring is here! It was a lovely day and after a busy week and Saturday, we were THRILLED to be able to be home and outside.

Mom had mowed for us, always a nice treat, so Eric worked on more brush clearing and thanks to his flower picking girls, many flowers to get in (we're expecting some rain this week).

Even better, g'ma came over to help and she raked leaves to clear out some of the beds we hadn't even gotten to last year and now we feel like we really have a good idea of what we can work with, it's awesome.

Cora got right in there--especially since Eric had to use HER pink shovel to plant--cause we can't find anything (STILL) lol.  

Then she and Amara got into digging up worms and moving them all over the place while I got to grill for the first time this year and in a while. I could get used to doing the grilling while Eric plants, lol!

We had a super fun evening and G'pa even popped by--to get his mower, sure, but he was just in time for our burgers, dogs, potatoes and even apples that I grilled (and some mac and cheese as a backup just in case).  Everyone was tired, but it was a good and accomplished tired and the girls are already enjoying their beautiful plants.
