April Showers Bring May Flowers

With all of the rain that we have had in Boise the last few weeks I have felt as though I am back in Seattle! It seems as though Spring has finally decided to stay in Idaho and grace us with her presence. I've been really enjoying spending the warmer days out in our garden. Luckily the previous owner had done some landscaping and put one in. I don't think I am anywhere near skilled enough to have started from scratch. Every few days I discover a new plant or flower. I know I have rose bushes (they have not bloomed yet) but my tulips are coming in! It is relaxing sitting out there weeding and watering while Keegan plays basketball or rides his trike.

Keegan has been helping me. I took an old gray planter and painted it black, put in soil, and Keegs helped me plant a mixture of wildflowers. The little sprouts just started coming in yesterday. I really hope to see some pretty flowers soon!

Our garden came with a really cute little turtle decoration. We have named him Franklin the Yard Turtle.

We are really enjoying this house. It was definitely the right move for us. Having extra room and an actual yard to play in is just so nice. We've been spending a lot of time outside after dinner. I hope that later in the summer we can get a nice patio set. We have this really cute covered patio area that I want to fix up with some nicer planters and a table set where we can eat and bbq and everything. Right now I have a small table and some plastic chairs out there but I want something more beautiful!
