The start of Spring!

What a wonderful weekend. 

Yes the wind reminded us that we could still have winter like weather, but what beautiful days we have had here lately.  Kassi is very ready for this warmer weather and an excuse to get out of the house.  She started some of her plants the other day and they are now taking over the kitchen table so it is time to bring up a card table so we can regain the kitchen table.  Granted this takes extra room in the living room, but I am a stickler for eating as a family on the nights that we can.

Kassi has really enjoyed going out and getting to ride on her four wheeler with Wes.  Last year when she first started riding with us she did not like her motorcycle helmet, but now she seems to be accustomed to it and wears it without any fuss. 

Earlier this month we bought a kit for raised garden beds.  Yesterday was nice enough we decided to go ahead and set them up.  I think they will work well, and Kassi loves the idea that she gets to play in the dirt.  She has decided that we need more vegetables than what she is growing in her starter greenhouse so she was going through the Gurneys catalog showing me what she wants to grow.  When she came to the parsnips I said I hadn't ever had them so I didn't know and she informed me that we needed them so we could try them as you should always try something new.

Given all of the new vegetables she wants to grow it looks like we will be making another trip to Costco to see if we can get another raised garden bed kit.
