Spring is here!

You might argue that spring has been here for a while, but this past few days it really does seem like spring. The weather is too warm for (BC style) winter clothes, but too cold for shorts, everyone's craving popsicles and the stuff in my garden is (mostly) growing!

Speaking of...here's the new garden patch. We need to get some netting to go around the perimeter. Home Depot doesn't seem to have the one we want in stock yet. The north wall (with the really tall posts) is where we're going to put some raspberry canes. They need five feet to grow, so the fence will be higher on that side. And the a-frame ladder thing is for an experiment I'm going to try - growing squash on a trellis!

We went to the playground on Wednesday morning. David was in the ball field for ages and wouldn't come out so we went to see what had him so mesmerized. Someone had made this map out of pinecones! Wow.


The kids are obsessed with babies lately. They keep praying for God to give us one. They even argue about the right way to pray. "You have to say 'In Jesus' Name' for it to work!" "Don't forget the please!" etc. etc. I've been trying to tell them that God might still say no, but they're not listening. ACK!


Probably the last time David uses the baby swing. They ONLY have baby swings at the playground behind us, but David says this was too squishy.
