Spring!

The windows were open, the breeze could be felt, and the kids cleaned their rooms with gusto. Spring!

The kids helped me and we took down the winter porch, cleaned and organized tools/laundry room, moved the kittens to the garage and cleaned wood floors!

Following my good friend Margie' advice, I will journal my gardening progress. Today I started peppers and tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, Brussels sprouts and potatoes seeds--the latter being a new thing for me. I am now researching on companion planting.

Last year we had snow in the end of April. I may not be holding my breath, but I will enjoy each day like today.

I am thinking of starting a little vegetable garden at the rectory but have no clue how to start. We will have to chat so you can impart to me your green thumbish wisdom.

You and the first lady! I heard she is planting one in the White House! ;-) Fr., we can help you. Make a list of what you'd like to grow and see if someone has a little tiller near you.
