Signs of Spring

It's still below freezing most nights,

but there are signs that Spring is on it's way.

For one thing, Blaze had his first baseball practice last night.

Also, last week DH, Blaze, and I helped with garden clean-up, because the student gardens will soon be getting their Spring plowing.

Blaze made a game out of clearing all the sticks from the garden, by saying that all sticks had to be put in a pile, as an offering to the Banana King.

Not all the plants in the garden have been enjoying the cold weather. The bananas really didn't fair well.

There are new lettuces in one garden plot, though, and two young peach trees with blossoms.

There are also workmen building a new bat house.

I have enjoyed browsing round your very interesting and inspirational blog. It is so good to see lettuces growing oustside - we can't grow bananas here in Scotland, but even the hardy kale didn't do well this winter. Looking forward to spring.
