Mr. Mailman...

... Bring me some Spring...

Guess what happened over the weekend in

Sunny Southern California?

Temperatures in the 80's.

Warm enough for the 

Slip N Slide

and getting dirt under one's nails.

I'm sure it was a false warm up

but Armstrong's beckoned me.

So I went.

A few seedlings and some seeds later...

 and fastening tape}

I can't wait till everything starts sprouting leaves.

{this arbor to the veggie garden will be
covered with grapes}

Although we won't be here to enjoy all the things I've

planted, I hope the next tenants will.

{strawberries}

{lettuce}

{sugar snap peas}

{pea blossom}

{spinach}

{taking pre-caution because I don't think we're done with frost}

{tomato. It's a TOMATO. Just making that clear
because it could resemble something else}

{I think they like their Parisian Print Burlap!}

I also set seeds for squash and cucumbers.

 A little early, I know, but they were left-over from 

last growing season so if they don't do anything,

 nothing lost. :)

{my little cherub under the olive tree}

{I always refresh the containers
with pretty posies}

{the roses are sprouting!}

{and my favorite tree that we planted near the patio
for the much needed afternoon shade: Chinese Elm}

In a month, I'll post an update 

on the garden and yard.

I marked the calendar so I

won't forget!

I hope Spring is headed your way if you

are still knee deep in snow.
