Spring Is Just So. . . So. . . Great!

The weather's warming up.  No more coats.  We don't get frost burns when we water plants.  It's all really good.

Watering is fun.  Brian was soaked before we were done.
He mostly did it himself.

We had yet another great afternoon in the garden watering, planting beets and weeding.  It looks as if the vegetable garden is full. . . for now.  Once the lettuces bolts (when it gets hot) we can plant some more stuff in their place.  Speaking of lettuce, Mr. V and I were talking about making next weeks snack from the garden.  I'm intrigued and can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Up in the flower bed, we had half the crew putting in a few perennial herbs, rosemary, thyme, oregano and sage.  The rosemary was a gift from Ms. Graff's class and the others came from the Burnsed family.  Thank you all so very much.  It's really great to see more people taking up an interest.

Speaking of the thanks, the Cantu family has given a wonderful gift certificate to Snow's.  It will be put to good use very soon.  Thank you very much.

Don't forget our field trip to Mr. Phil and Ms. Deirdre's farm is in two weeks so permission slips need to be turned in as soon as possible.  I have them for most of you all, but I'm still waiting for just a few more.

Oh, one last thing.  For the couple of people that always ask, . . . strawberry short cake.  Thanks, Mr. V!

Daggone weeds.

Weeding and watering. 

There will be no soaking of grown-ups. . . this time!

We watered a lot, actually.

We can grow some lettuce. . .and kale. . .

"Hey Beamer, whatcha thinkin' about?"
"Snack "

Resting up for snack after a lot of hard work. . . er, I mean, fun.
