Mid April Happenings

Indoor seed sowing should commence today. Hooray! Despite the horribly cold spring weather some of my absolute favorite segments of the year are fast approaching. Playing in dirt, planting the seeds, watching the little sproutlets emerge, turn into real substantial plants, then make their way into our yard. The growth is ever mesmerizing and then there is food; fresh, wonderful, healthy food, ripe for the picking. 

And speaking of seeds little Abe and I will most likely be scraping together some sort of recycled materials bird feeder today. Although, at this point I'm not certain I can refer to my child as little Abe any longer. He is a very lively, clever, witty six year old who is under the impression that he's much closer in age to fifteen. Honestly, he thinks he can do just about anything imaginable all on his own and that he should be allowed to. (this comes in a bit handy now that he's able to do some loads of laundry for me, ect;)

Seeing that it's mid April and I've yet to post to the blog this year, you could say 2018 is flying by. But it is flying by in full color and vigor. Well, maybe vigor isn't the appropriate word as I'm almost always exhausted.


Hoping that you all are having a blessed new-ish year! I'll be trying to catch up on some much missed blogs before the end of the month as I've truly not stepped into blogland much at all this year.
Shoot, I almost forgot. I'll be posting some news here shortly, not about gardening or how quickly my son is growing up, new news.

    1. Thank-you. He is in first grade now BUT I'm homeschooling so "in school full time" means something quite different :) I make a very conscious effort to schedule at least one play date a week for him. He's usually in one class like swimming, or gymnastics, or ninja gym that runs once a week. And we do field trips with other homeschoolers at least twice a month. School keeps us VERY busy!

    1. Life has very much gotten in the way of blogging, which is certainly not a complaint but I do miss it, and all of my blogger friends. I'm going to try my hardest to update more often than twice a year :)

    1. I can't believe how big he is either, truly! He just has his first loose tooth. I keep thinking back to when his teeth first came in and I cannot believe that he's going to be losing them now. So monumental, so strange... time is so fleeting.
