Longing for Spring 2013

 Since we don't seem to be getting Spring this year, I'm going to post some pictures from last year, just to remind myself spring does exist.  May of 2012, my rare white Bleeding Heart, blooming in the fern and hosta bed.  I know I dug up and moved the bleeding heart, but cannot remember where I replanted her.  One of the joys of spring, all the surprises when the perennials start popping back up.

We are really looking forward to the gardening season this year.  Elijah is old enough now to play outside, or help us in the garden.   We didn't get any seeds started inside this year, but I plan to start a few flowers in my classroom in honor of Earth Day.  I'm going to use the empty egg shell method.

A sad "blast from the past."  Our lovely duck who was taken by a predator last year.
