The boys are out of school this week for Spring Break and have just enjoyed a post-breakfast piece of chocolate bunny. After such a busy weekend, our house looks like someone shook it upside down... so I thought I'd show you some outdoor pictures!
I don't know the scientific name for this climbing plant… I call it the "Gigantic Jasmine." I wish I could bottle the scent!
Cherry Blossom trees along the gravel driveway.
Red Rhododendron add a splash of color!
Two buckets of rhubarb were a surprise! I see some pies in our future…
And plants and flowers aren't the only things popping up. A mole (or perhaps a family of moles, the size of the Duggars) is having such a fun time in our backyard. While watching these mounds of dirt grow, I'm also keeping a suspicious eye on the amazing speed at which the grass is growing in the pasture… Will we be completely overtaken before we can get our ride-on mower fixed?
We're reminded of a friend's words to us before we moved here… "It will be a labor of love to keep this place up." Oh how we love it! And oh baby, you weren't kidding about the labor! I will choose to believe as Myquillyn, at thenester.com, says, "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful!"
What a relief.
It's so beautiful, Julie! I can almost smell the jasmine from here :)
