Love and Spring

My weekend was spent doing a lot of this with my love:

Today was spent doing a lot of this, because I have been pretty slack with school. Not totally neglecting it, just not doing as much as I could. So now the next week or so will be a lot of catch up work.

In the hopes of getting out of my February Funk I also spent time finding spring. I found this bit of spring in the front flower bed (which desperately needs mulch).

This is one of my soon to be semi-dwarf orchard trees. I am planning a postage stamp orchard in my backyard using only semi-dwarf or dwarf fruit trees. I am only planting 8 this year, 4 apple and 4 peach. I am planting in a box shape with 3 trees on the ends and 2 in the middle. I am leaving a hole in the middle with the hopes of having an intimate space to have dinner or a place to lay out a blanket and read books or do school.

And last here is a photo of some tulips I gifted myself today. It was a rough trip through WalMart with Keegan and to reward myself for not blowing my top in front of everyone and looking like that mom I got these to brighten my day. I usually would go for red or white, but am so glad I chose the yellow, they really made my kitchen cheery.

No spring here ... winter storm being tracked for the next couple of days. I love your posts ... I haven't figured out how to do the picture - text - picture - text - picture thing. My pictures all lump together if I put more than one in the same post. I guess I'm more computer illiterate than I care to admit! Enjoy time with your family. You're a special young lady!

I love it when the bulbs start poking their little heads out. It gives me such hope that spring will actually come around again!
