A gift and a garden

Except for the one day that it snowed, we have had a very warm winter. Here's Ellen riding her tricycle on our porch.

What's that in the background, you ask?


Why, that's my Valentine's Day gift from Jack's dad. It's a garden box. He brought the wood and assembled it, filled it, and even added the decorative white rocks around the outside. Currently I have little pea plants sprouting. They survived the snow, but we're supposed to have a hard freeze tonight, so we'll see what happens. Around Mother's Day we'll be well past the danger of a frost, and then we'll really get serious about planting. By "we" I mean Ellen, Jack Jack, and I. Those two take their watering duties very seriously.

Back to Ellen.
