Most of my family lives in California and I quietly weep when I read their Facebook updates IN MARCH that say things like, “First barbecue of the season!” Jerks.
It’s been cold and raining like crazy but we finally got some sun this weekend. I had picked up all these plants last week that I ordered in March. Advance plant sales are awesome because your order arrives and you’re like, “I ordered five meadow Sidalcea why? Where was I going to put all this now?”
The pink tulips have been up for a while and I’ve been waiting on the black ones.
The black bulbs are my favorite.

The boy spent the whole day weeding and we barbecued and ate outside. Maybe I had to wear a sweatshirt toward the end but, whatever, I’ll take it.

And 7 out of 9 of all y’all liked the birdbath so now we’ll just wait and see if the birds will use the thing. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for hummingbirds.
