Last weekend my cousins came to visit and the weather was soooooo nice that I was over-dressed in this cardigan sweater when Sofia and I were chasing after bubbles that Kara blew for us.
You can see that the grass in the yard was already sprouting and just this morning Theodore Wirth parkway looked like green velvet with the uncut-fresh green grass.
We've certainly caught the spring-time bug and have started yard and house projects already. Here you can see Lussi playing hop-scotch on the patio .... as well as the first coat of paint that my mom put on the 2 walls of our "outside-dining room" (otherwise known as our patio) (She just finished the second coat today (the 18th) and will upload pictures very soon!)
And we've had super head-start on the garden this year! Brit has planted flowers in part of the garden this year and Papa has been sprouting things outside in the bins for several weeks already and has already planted several veggies into the main garden beds. Today I helped him plant cabbage and beets! I'm also really good at bringing stray-worms back to the garden beds....
These are broccoli sprouts that Papa planted from last year's broccoli plants .... just one of these sprouts can grow into a big broccoli plant, so he will harvest a couple for that purpose...
...and he and Mama have been eating the rest as sprouts on salads and as a garnish on pretty much anything! They think they're yummy - I'm still warming-up to the idea.......
