Although I absolutely LOVE snow, the coming of Spring makes my heart sing for joy!  Yesterday, I put out my bird feeder.  This will be popular since we will be studying birds.  Birds always remind me of my Grandma Eddy Joy.  She loved birds and had many cages in her house filled with the little chirping critters.  Some of my favorite paintings she used to paint were birds.  Unfortunately I only have one bird painting which I cherish. 

I've been preparing my garden once again. I use old planters I saved from plants I bought last year and  vegetable cans for planters and plant seeds indoors several weeks before transplanting them outside.  Right now I have broccoli, collard greens, parsley and cilantro planted… oh yes, and some lavender.  As soon as I have more cans I will plant some more spring vegetables.

I plan to expand my garden this year adding an area for planting my watermelon and cantaloupe. I can hardly wait to see my garden in full fruited-bloom once again.  Last fall I planted some old bulbs I bought on sale the year before but never got around to planting.  Some of them are coming up. 

Above just a week ago.  Below, today

I love your bird picture, so very special.

Zachary has been working on his garden, too. It's looking good.
