Spring fever doesn't even begin to describe it. If I wasn't so stiff and achy I think I'd go outside and roll down a grassy hill like a kid. Well, right now it would be more of a muddy hill... and I'd look pretty silly... okay forget I even said it.
Anyway...
The local farm market (reason #8,452,947 for moving home) opened this past week so we had to stop in. I've had this day marked on the calender for months!
There's fresh things to eat now...
Things to plant (to eat later)...
And flowers, flowers, flowers!!
The holiday weekend was nice. The kids and I made homemade peanut butter eggs and I gotta tell ya if you've never made peanut butter eggs with kids you're miss'in it! Its like peanut butter play-dough and family tradition all rolled into one. And you get rave reviews from the family get-together when you take a whole pan or 2 to pass around.
Kid update...
Well, Purl has herself a big little brother... meaning he's younger than her but bigger in size. His name is Zeke and he's a Toggenburg baby, and quite a handful. He's totally different than Purl and has sort of thrown the family balance around a bit.
I must say, I'm having a really hard time staying focused on much of anything these days. All I can do is stare out the window wishing we were hiking and poking at salamanders down by the creek. Scary timing as I've got my first print magazine deal and need to have everything done and out of here in the next week!
Oh! So jealous of your Farmer's Market. Ours doesn't open for another month - I am really missing that fresher than fresh produce. The flowers look so incredibly healthy. That is really cool that they sell seeds as well.
Magazine deal? I have some catching up to do. Congratulations.

Oh the flowers! It won't be long here, it really won't.
The kids are adorable (both varieties).

I'm trying to convince my SIL she needs some goats after seeing yours.
Good luck staying focused. As much as I bitch about summer, I have been pulling out my seed packets more and more and daydreaming.

Oh wow. All the pretty fresh stuff makes me jeallous!
Zeke and Purl are so cute. Congratulations on the magazine, I'm sure you'll get it done!

Congratulations on the magazine! The farmer's market looks fabulous. It will still be a while before there's any flowers here. Sigh.

Looks like you all had a great weekend. I thought we were the only ones who made peanut butter play dough. We're sort of lazy about it and I let the kids roll it out and use cookie cutters. The they put the shapes on graham crackers and decorate with chocolate chips. Next year, I'll have to try some eggs.
