Do you see what I see?...

We've been seeing a lot of new things these days.  We found this mama's nest yesterday in our yard.  She's chosen an interesting place to be but very well hidden.  The only reason I found her was because she kept flying out everytime I walked by the side of the house. 

 

I'm not the only one seeing new things around here.  This guy can see a lot more clearly now!  Who knew?  It's funny, you just don't know until you know.  He gets to wear them all day everyday and thankfully he's quite taken to it. 

This girl decided to start a garden along side her mama.  The starts are finally taking off and I'm not sure who gets more excited; the kids or me when we see an itty bitty new little tomato srout.  It's really pretty amazing.

Excited to try this new venture of gardening.  I usually buy two tomato plants at Market and call it good.  But this year I thought I'd give the seedling thing a try.  It's very much a thrill and hoping they will continue to grow and produce once we get them into the ground!

Crazy, crazy, crazy...

Mmmm...my length between posts seem to be getting longer.  There are some months where I only find myself online a few times a week and I'm usually not here in this space.  I've been thinking a lot lately about how my life is very much not like everyone else's in this way.

I don't have a cell phone.

Ack! you say.  Right now, at this point in my life it just wouldn't benefit me.  It'd be one more thing for me to keep track of and honestly I'm not the kind of person who likes to talk on the phone in public anyway.

Not the norm.  I know.

Another thing I don't have?  A laptop.  So if I'm going to be on the computer I'm coming in here to the office and turning this desktop on and really, there are some days when I just don't feel like sitting still for 3-4 minutes while the computer boots up.

Thus the long absence I suppose.

My days of late seem to be crazy stressful.  Some of the kids are in this incredibly challenging place right now which means I'm usually too mad to come here and rave about them.  :)  ha ha.

We do have our good moments of course.  Everyone does.  So on that note a few photos from last month.

Shall we?

And, in a very tiny nutshell that sums up our time in March.  Did you notice the snow in one shot and shorts in another?  It was very (and wonderfully) warm!  Although winter does have it's perks it reminded me that yes, I am indeed a warm weather gal.  Looking forward to more of it.
