a wee bit book {ish} ...: spring fever.

spring fever.

my favorite time of year (other than fall, of course) is mid-summer when the vegetable garden is in full-force, canning on the weekends, the apple trees are forming teeny baby apples, bbq's, late-evenings outside, and warm SUN! but, to get to that point, we have to plant the garden in the spring, and clean up the giant mess from the winter! luckily, this year is dryer, and warmer than others ... but i still just want someone to do the un-fun part for me!

i love starting seeds ... not so much the preparation. taylor has promised to help me this year ... "mommy, i WON'T be afraid of bugs this year, and i will help you with ALL of the garden." so, in an effort to prepare my mini green-thumb, i've gathered a collection of kids gardening/spring books! i know i'm inspired already! maybe it's warm enough to get out there and weed today ... or maybe that just sounds better in theory ...
