It's Spring!!!

Spring comes early to Kansas. Well, at least a lot earlier than it does in Utah or Idaho. So we enjoyed the great weather we had early in March. We planted our garden on St. Patrick's Day and busted Grant's swing out of storage.
He had a great time playing in his swing while Jared and I weeded and planted. But he finally wanted to help so we gave him a bucket of his own and he happily picked up handfuls of dirt and put them in the bucket (just like mummy and daddy were doing). You'll notice in the pictures of him in the swing that he has a stick. That's the first thing he does when he comes outside is to look for either a stick or a rock to carry around the yard. It makes me nervous for him to have a stick in the swing because I'm afraid he'll poke his eye out. So I try to encourage him to take rocks with him on the swing instead. I took some pictures of our crocuses and here they are. Our tulips and daffodils are out now, so I'll get some pictures of those posted later next week. We planted peas on St. Patrick's Day and then planted our potatoes, onions, and garlic on the 19th. Everything's up now, including a TON of weeds. We definitely have our work cut out for us again this year, fighting the weed battle. If it ever stops raining, maybe we can actually get into the garden to pull some of those weeds.
