Every time a child says, "I don't believe in fairies," there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.

gone fishin

So my pond now has not just fish but tadpoles too! Very exciting. I put an Iris and a Cardinal Flower as marginals, and some creeping Jenny, and pond weeds in also. So far I've seen a couple of birds bathing around the edges, but no turtles yet.  Fun times

a whirlwind of a week

The week leading up to a holiday always seems to slip by in this household.  Luckily this mornings egg hunt went off without a hitch and the children were all pleased with their loot.  I had a rotten cold all week, which is still lingering, and a few of the monsters that gave it to me are still holding onto theirs.. so its been a week of kleenex and hand washing! The groundhogs are still eating my grass.. and have yet to touch anything that matters.. so I'm not about to kick them out yet.  Have a lovely Easter Sunday.
