I took a trip to Chicago for a week. It is springtime here. The trees are blooming as well as the flowers. Last year we were here a bit later in spring. At home we're well into the growing season. My garden is mostly planted and the mosquitos and ticks have all made their presence known. 
We'll be back again soon I hope., until then, I have some great photos.
It's April and the asparagus is still producing. I love this time of year! I'm planting the things that will provide food this summer. Days seem to slip by quickly so I must keep up with the planting, weeding, and watering. So far I've planted a wisteria, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes (though my plants I have grown from seed are a bit young), 3 blueberry bushes, a rose and some bulbs. I will be planting beans tomorrow. I had ocean started but something ate off all the leaves...Argh! There will be photos of my garden to follow. I love the smell of dirt, grass, and rotting wood. I am in my element.
