Another goal in my springtime preparations checked off. I've been working on repainting the gnomes for many years. They were given to me by my Grandma. They lived in her yard thirty years ago. Then, I thought they were quite ugly, but throughout time they grew on me. Several years ago she moved into an apartment and I inherited the gnomes. Since then, I have been working on repainting all of them. I can't wait to get them arranged outside!

Spectacular!

We've just been enjoying some very beautiful sunsets all week. I just had to share!

Seedlings

I love nurturing my plants. My tomatoes and herbs are growing by leaps and bounds. Hopefully within the next few weeks, I'll get them transplanted. Then it'll be time to get my cold frame set up so they can go into the real world.

Gearing up for Gardening

I've been busy getting my paper pots made for my seedlings. I've also been making up paper seed strips for the garden. Springtime is my favorite time of the year!

A Gazillion Blackbirds.....

We've had some very nice days this last week. I am so ready for springtime!

The birds seem to know that spring has sprung. I spotted a bluebird in our back field several days ago. Today, when I opened the door, the birds seemed to be drowning the airwaves. I grabbed my camera and went to check out just where the birds were coming from. For a moment, I felt like I was in the movie "The Birds".
