Getting Ready for Spring

This is the view from out the window above

the sink. 



I am so thankful for a window above the sink!

I often find myself just going to the window

and looking out.

Other times I'm there for the not so fun job of

conqering the pile of pots and pans

but being able to view the garden while I work is

so nice!

This little spot in front of the fence is

a perfect spot for herbs.

I used oodles of herbs this late summer while

making sauce.  It was handy having the boys

run down to the garden  and grab some but it would

of been better if the herbs were

closer to the house.

I also love, love, love tulips!

They bring so much sunshine and bright color in the

spring!

I grabbed a pack of 30 bulbs the last time I was

out shopping but they've been sitting

on the counter waiting for me to plant them.

Tim is a morning person.

He gets up with Mark, makes his breakfast

and then does school all by himself.

Tim is a very pokey person so I think he likes

the quiet and being able to set his own pace

to do things.

This morning, he finished school early so I gave him

the job of planting my tulips.

He enjoyed this job and did a great job.

It's such a blessing having so many different personalities

 in our home.

Now when the snow has melted and the days

begin to get warmer and the tulips

are in full bloom, I'll

think of Tim and remember his hard work for me.
