Spring is in the Air

Possibly Caleb's first note from a girl
Swinging high
Isaac giving Julia an underdog
Looking cute for church

So I think Caleb received his first note from a girl. That little piece of paper fell out of his backpack. Caleb said it had been in there for a couple days. I asked him if it was from Katherine D. and he said, "I don't know, I think her Mom wrote it." Uh, I don't think that is her Mom's handwriting. Caleb didn't seem too interested in the note, we just said Katherine must think he is a good friend. :)

Nate has been working hard on our backyard. We are putting a flowerbed along the back of our property. The goal is to plant native wildflowers that like the shade. I'm kind of stressing out about what types of plants to buy and how many, so I am procrastinating as long as possible. :)

Caleb's response about the note is good. I don't know...that a boy! Kids are growing up too fast!

My suggestion for the flowers is to do about half of what you think you'll need this year and see how it looks next year. Some plants spread too and you can separate them next year and save money! I have LOTS of hostas, iris and I'm sure other stuff that I can separate if you're interested?!

Did any of the seeds we planted in your house make it outside in the ground yet?

Great advice from your friend at Still Cross. Leave space between plants because they need more room than you think. I assume you are putting in plants that will return year after year.

I like my bledding hearts--they seem to do well in my shady areas. Lilly of the valley do well in shade, too. One of my favorites!!
