We had a bit of a rough Easter with some of us coming down with a bug, and with Elina's final days before heading off on her travel month. But we still found the time and energy to dye eggs with friends, have a last-minute pulled-together easter egg hunt, and enjoy the warming weather.
Evelyn started her flower garden again this year -- I think it will be even better than last year. We got a bit more organized with it, and she circled the seed plantings with some annuals that are already blooming for some instant color. For this year, she selected: watermelon, carrots, english daisy, zinnia, cosmos, larkspur - all from seed. Only after suggesting some live plants for the border did she agree to select a few for color: marigolds, dianthus, and petunias. She and I worked out there for over 2 hours planting and marking the rows. Was a great morning. And we got to enjoy the scent of the lilac bush nearby that is in full enthusiastic bloom for the first time since I planted it 10 years ago.
The patio is once again our evening hangout spot with the mild weather and (for now) zero mosquitos. Emerson LOVES playing in the water and walking up and down the path along the back of our yard. Both kids got into finger painting the other evening, which is perfect patio fun. This really is a great house in the spring.
