4 Miles

We have had a string of beautiful days. Will loves to be outside, so we have been having fun outside. Will is enjoying playing with his dump truck and bull dozer in the rocks and dirt and along the drive way. I’ve been weeding. It isn’t much fun to be grown up!

Will loves to eat outside. (That’s what he’s doing in the picture on the left.) I think it’s because he can walk around and eat at the same time–something that is NOT allowed at the table. Last week, during our first nice day outside, I asked him if he wanted to have a picnic outside.  He was very excited. When I brought out his lunch of PB & J, he was quite upset. He kept saying, “No! I want picnic!” I then realized he thought a picnic was something to eat. And surely it was something yummy, not something boring like peanut butter and jelly! I finally got him to realize that a picnic was just any food we ate outside. He did eat his sandwich.

It is interesting to move into a house where someone before you planted a great deal of flowers and plants. We have all kinds of things coming up, and some I have no idea what to expect.  The tulips and daffodils are blooming.  I have discovered we have a great deal of green onions growing like crazy in all the flower beds. So, the gardening tip of the day (not that there will be more) is to plant green onions/chives in a pot. Other wise, your garden will go to pot! (Sorry, just couldn’t resist.)
