Everything is flowering now, it seems, in joyous celebration of the start of spring. How did you celebrate?
My darling husband built me a raised garden bed this past weekend. It’s glorious and 8 ft. by 4 ft. It took a couple of hours to build. I still need more soil to fill it. Seven 2 cubic ft. bags wasn’t enough, but that’s all that would fit in my car. It meant I got to go to my happy place for a brief while, and I refrained from buying much—
Just a tiny six-pack of red snapdragons and one of orange marigolds … you know, for luck.
It’s spring break now and my children have two weeks off school. Today’s project was Clean the Bedroom. (It looks pretty good now.) Yesterday’s projects were more fun:
We dyed Easter eggs, using our hens’ eggs. We started, as you can see, with an assortment of colorful eggs, and only one white one.
It’s good rainbow fun, you know.
Brown eggs and green eggs turn lovely, gentle colors when you dye them.
We also did another springtime project as a surprise for Daddy that I’ll tell you about tomorrow.
