More Egg-travaganza

Easter celebrating has turned into a full time job for this kid! Between neighborhood celebrations, fun at home, and a hunt at Mother's Garden, we are fully Easterized.

Here is Jasper on the bridge at Mother's Garden with our favorite Easter Bunny.

Jasper and Daddy on the way to the hunt at Mother's Garden.

Hunting w/ his buddy Landon, this hunt was much more... peaceful than last weeks.

Super proud of his finds!

Friends sharing their loot!

The bunny under one of the lovely flowering trees in Mother's Garden. If I haven't gone on and on to you yet about MG, it's a 5 acre garden bordering our neighborhood that was built as strolling garden in the 20's. It was derelict up until last year when a group of neighbors formed "The Friends of Mother's Garden" and we started rehabbing the garden and holding events.

Batman loves Easter too!

Dirt!

Since we've accomplished a lot inside our house (new kitchen, master bath, master bedroom, Jasper's room), and Mitch's renovation of the rental house is complete, we've turned our eyes upon our yard. So plans have begun for a back yard reno, including a large patio, fire pit, pergola, a pizza oven (!), some more landscaped flower beds, and a serious veggie garden. In the previous years we've had the garden on the side yard where the dogs couldn't trample through it. This was problematic since watering it was difficult and there was a little bit of "out of sight out of mind" happening. I was usually the sole tender to the garden, and really there was only so much I could do with the little strip of earth. This year we have big plans! A large 12 x12 space has been cleared, including moving of a lot of perennials and bulbs, a garden box has been built, and now DIRT!!! Jasper had such a good time climbing up into Daddy's truck and helping to shovel the dirt out. Around here we call it "The Monster Truck." Now, onto seed sowing! So here's to spring and the garden growing!
