got allergies?

Wow...it snuck up on me this time. Spring has arrived, it seems. Good luck to all of you allergy sufferers (my husband included). I'm lucky that it doesn't really affect me much.

It's not like I prowled the neighborhood for flowers, either: these were all taken in my very own backyard while playing with my boys. We also found a few worms while digging around. I was so proud when they picked them up and laughed hysterically as they wiggled in their hands.

All of this reminded me that I should really start to plan out my garden for the year. Last season it was zucchini, basil and tomatoes. This year I'd like to do mostly herbs and peppers. And maybe try an heirloom tomato as well. It's kind of a small area, so I'd like to cut out the space invading squash. I'll get to that as soon as I catch up on laundry, which should be......late March sometime.
