Spring Break

Spring Break

Washington D.C.

The Cherry Blossom festival was going on during or trip to D.C. and they were absolutely beautiful.


Kathryn took us to the butterfly exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.

Daffodils

In college, Kathryn and I used to stop at every single daffodil on Middle path and say hi to it. It was a wonderful surprise when I woke up to find daffodils blooming in my butterfly garden. When you move into a house at the end of summer the littler surprises in the Spring are wonderful. Our backyard is beautiful and green and there are peonies beginning to grow by our Dogwood tree. There is also a patch of daffodils that popped up on our property line.

Tea in the morning and afternoon sun

I have an obsession with pitchers and 50's and 60's table clothes. oh...and tea.

Vegetable Garden

In the first section of my vegetable garden I used the lasagna gardening method, but soon realized that it cost waaaaaay too much money. So, in the next three sections i will just add amendments and some compost from the zoo. Luckily, I have a wonderful somebody who built a deer fence around the garden. He was very proud of it and I think it looks wonderful. I am so excited to cook with all the wonderful things in the garden in the summer. So far I have planted shelling peas, snap peas, arugula, butter lettuce, beets, and radishes. I still have room for a few rows of early spring plants. I started several seeds in a mini-greenhouse like thing. Hopefully they will all work!
