Outdoor Wednesday

Pictures of spring happenings in our neck of the woods!

We finally got part of our garden in. It has been so wet here, we weren't able to work the ground before now. I can't wait to harvest my first radishes and lettuce leaves. M-m-m-m-m!

I love the flowers of spring! My Flowering Almond bush is one of my favorites (above). And I love looking out my kitchen window and seeing this OLD apple tree in my back yard.

I love this picture of my daughter and son, flying a kite earlier this spring. We all went to the big hill in the field north of our house and enjoyed the blue sky, warm sun and spring winds.

    love the pictures. in the picture of your children, it is evident how much they look like you. even though you can only see your son from the side - i can see you in him.

  8. The Flowering Almond doesn't have much of a scent, but it makes up for it with all the beautiful blooms. Each branch is just loaded. Plus it has sent up some shoots that I have been able to dig up and transfer.

  9. You live in beautiful God's country. That's the way I like it. City folks have no idea what all they miss out on. I want to come and drink lemonade with ya! LOL.

  10. Jenn,

    Your pictures are just beautiful. I love the Flowering Almond!

    Your kids really love the country, don't they? It looks like they are just having a ball!!

    I bet your garden is a lot of hard work, but worth it's weight in gold. I hope you post pictures of it as it grows this summer!

    Have a wonderful week, Jenn! :-D

    xoxo
