My favorite thing about spring







I love it when it finaly starts to warm up and the world comes alive again. The trees have their blossoms, the flowers and plants shake off the cold and brown foliage that comes with winter. And we get to play outside in the GARDEN! I love the feeling of being out in the dirt and knowing that from a tiny little seed we can grow these yummy things to enjoy all summer long. I get great satisfaction when I can tell the kids to run out to the garden and grab a veggie of some sort for dinner that night. It is fun to have our own little produce section in the back yard. Not to mention the kids love it to. We got our peas in a little late this spring so I was a little jelouse when Kory's dad and my sister had peas springing up and I didn't. But Sunday morning, Tanner ran in the house to tell me that he could see the peas poking their little heads out of the ground. I was so excited I had to take some pictures. (I love garden fresh peas).
These are my two little Tomato plants. Notice the yellow flowers on the second one. Yea, I can't wait!

One of these days Stan and I would love to start a garden. When I do I'll have to get some tips from you. Have you ever tried to grow sweet potatoes? I guess our soil and climate is supposed to be perfect for them. The pictures of your kids are beautiful.
