Spring was in the air chez nous today. We hit the garden centre hard and bought up our annuals. I know it's early, but, I suspect that this whole global warming thing means that we don't need to wait until Victoria Day to plant anymore. So, I potted up our flowerboxes and planters and they are looking lovely. And we actually had a bit of rain today for the first time in weeks, so, hopefully that will help the new beauties grow.
And speaking of beauties growing, my special wee Tulip Tree has awoken from its winter slumber and is about to sprout. This type of tree is a species at risk in Ontario. We're a bit far north for it's normal range, but I'm hoping with lots of love and with the balmy Millbrook air it will thrive.
We also had a lot of play time outside include an excursion to the old cedar tree in the field next door. It's overlooking the pond and there's a nice bench there and we had a lovely rest while Evy climbed through the tree branches about 9,000 times. And her rubber boots got stuck between the branches about 8,999 times. Ahh Spring.
As opposed to 'deer caught in headlights' look,this is 'boot caught in tree crotch' look.
(Similar but different.)
Note boot has actually fallen off in this photo. Made for some wet socks.
Overexposed photo, but seriously cute nontheless.
Madam pauses long enough to have a roll around in the grass. Atchoo!In other news, there is no other news. Just busy as usual, and loving life and having fun with our soon-to-be-two-year-old. Eeeps! Time sure flies. Am heading to Toronto tomorrow for a babyshower for our friend Ellen. VERY excited to see everyone and to celebrate the arrival of the wee man! Other than that, it's just back to the grinderoo as usual on Monday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
