Spring Hustle

Well spring is here... for now. Time to get the garden in. I already planted the potatoes, radishes, spinach, lettuces, and broccoli. Now I have all the rest to do. It's still a little early for most things, in Montana. I caught the garden bug early this year- in February, so I have a ton of plants that I started from seed back then. I am so excited at how well they are all doing. Tomatoes, peppers, herbs, watermelon and cantaloupe, oh and new this year, sweet potatoes. We'll see how well they like our climate. Ethan loves the outdoors! Give him a spoon and a bucket and he'll dig for hours. Most of the dirt ends up down his clothes, diaper, shoes, etc., but if he doesn't mind, I can handle it. Besides, it enables me to get some yard work done. I am so excited for the summer fun!!!! Hope he likes the lake. Azure is getting so grown up. She bought a bigger bike with the money she earned from doing extra jobs around the house.(She gets excited about cleaning the bathroom and does just as well as me-YAY!!!) Now her hope(and ours) is that she will quickly learn to ride w/o training wheels. She plays so well with her brother. My favorite sound in the world is when they laugh together. What an exciting summer we have ahead!
