We took a little ride to town today, and I found some awesome, light weight-terracotta-looking planters. They were only 1.19 a piece. I purchased 7 of them. With Mr. Handsome's help they now adorn our deck railing. I planted spinach, sugar pea pods, raddishes, italian lettuce, and green leaf lettuce. How wonderful is it going to be in a month or so, to simply step out to the deck and pick our fresh salad for lunch? I usually put a pot or two of cherry tomatoes out there and herbs. This year I am out smarting the bunnies and growing the lettuce and spinach on the deck too.
The weather was perfect to work on these projects....now if the ground would just dry up a little so we can till the garden and get those onions and garlic in. They both should have been in already. I have carrots, beets, peas, as well as, yellow & green beans to get in too. So come on Sunshine and goodbye to frost and snow and cold weather.
The lake is still here and full of ducks, loons and trumpeter swans

Come on Spring/warmer weather....this ol' girl is just itching to get out to the garden and do some sowing and growing!
