81/365 Spring garden update

Spring is upon us and I'm ready to plant. The freezes are done, the frost is gone and the outside is calling me.

Here you can see one of my many plant shelves.

Top shelf is a bunch of strawberry plants - shoots off the mother plant seen below.

All the way to the right edge is the large beige pot with mint.

The shelf below has a silver planter with oregano and parsley. I have a cheerful daisy next to it. Three aloe plants in front.

The round silver bucket contains oregano seeds and the egg crates are housing newly planted seeds.

On the bottom shelf are two hydrangeas.

On the shelf above that one is a silver planter with chives and sage, the long flowing plant is cat nip, rosemary in the plastic container and the egg crates are housing newly planted seeds.

New seedlings:

Peas

Sunflowers

Daisy and cat grass

Dill and Oregano

My sunshiney happy strawberry plant

Mmmmmmmmmmm berries

Close up on my happy daisy. I rescued this last year from Lowes clearance table - it was nearly dead and marked down to $.25!

New spring plant from my mom

80/365 Downtown Disney

So today started out with the best intentions!

My best friends youngest, H. will be celebrating a birthday soon. Her 4th birthday. And in their family - a 4th birthday means a trip to Disney World!!!!!!

Now, sweet little H has been to Disney once before - when her big sister MA turned 4. But she doesn't really remember it. After all - she did nap through a couple hours of it!

But this time she was older and ready to go.

But the weather wasn't. Neither was the stomach bug she was battling.

So at the last moment, the plans for Magic Kingdom were scrapped and we moved the party over to Downtown Disney. Less crowds, still some Disney magic. Nothing to worry about when the rain comes.

Fortunately enough, there were some rides and we got to ride on them. H did so good and she really had a great time!

Later on the sisters were in a perfect mood to pose for some pictures!

Check out MA - she just lost her first tooth!!!!!!!!!

She really is growing up!

And H is a doll - plain and simple.

These two are really just so great. They love each other so much!

Grandma got in on that sweet picture time!

Then dad was sneaky and got in there for the photo

We explored the Rain Forest Cafe - which memorized them on the inside with an aquarium and on the outside with animatronic alligators and a live parrot show.

That aquarium captivated them! They loved pointing out the fish from Finding Nemo

Aunt Laura is so patient with them.

That alligator - man, oh man. They could have (and would have if it hadn't started raining) admired that thing all day long.

But the rains, oh they came.

It rained, and rained and rained and rained.

But don't let that face fool you - she had a great time!

They both did!

And how could they not with Aunt Laura there making everything so much fun!

So despite the rain and tummy troubles, a great day was had by all. Much cheaper than a ticket to Magic Kingdom and really just as much fun!

Mildly goofy smile on my face because this is the first census I've completed since getting married 5 years ago.
