in the yard

It's been a quiet week around here as we've been happily pulled out of doors by the warm weather and the work it brings. Things are growing and changing so noticeably now, with more green and fullness after each cycle of rainfall and sunshine.

The onions and potatoes are up and growing strong, new things are being planted and the signs of spring are everywhere (especially noted in the strawberry patch where a nest of baby bunnies is nestled in the straw covering).

Wishing you a happy weekend full of spring.

Daniel looks so grown up in the last picture. The raised boxes are nice. Hubby is doing strawberries inside these potato boxes.

Oh that creek... is that in your yard?

Yes, that creek is one of our favorite things around here. The kids have so much fun splashing and exploring there.
DeLynn, I'll have to ask Andre about using the boxes for strawberries. I haven't seen them done that way, but it sounds interesting!
