Spring Skies

We now know that spring didn’t stick around very long at all. Jumped right into summer from winter for the most part.

We had a few (too few) days of spring though and appreciated the skies accordingly.

Homemade Wallet

I’m not sure why he wanted to make a wallet on his own, but he did, and he was proud of it.

Park Time

The weather stayed nice for a little bit so that meant we could start walking the kids to the bus stop… and when it’s time for them to walk back, Redflare can meet them at the park.

Moonrise

A cool April afternoon… and here comes the moon.

It’s especially pretty in the daylight.

Spring’s Arrival

While it’s still too wet and cold to do any planting at this point outside, a warm afternoon did lend itself to finally getting to use the sidewalk chaulk they got at Easter when there was still snow on the ground.

Mini Greenhouses

Redflare found this neat trick online where if you put certain “cold weather” seeds outside in recyclable containers like milk cartons or plastic cups they’ll get just enough exposure to outside that they’ll start to grow.

Low and behold, we have kale.

and Spinach!

Papparazi

When the Redflare papparazi comes around the kids always have varying reactions.

Thunderer, this time around, seemed nonplussed.

While Superman stopped to pose:

TJ just flat out tried to hide.

Caturday Plant Supervisor

Speaking of cats yesterday… Lady Grey seems to appreciate the seed starting “tents” in the piano parlor. We’ve found her chilling on the bean bag in there on multiple occasions.

Seed Starting Central

Seed starting central takes place in the piano parlor with a mix of pots and recycled items… you can also see the domes Redflare had to put over the tomatoes to keep the cats from nibbling on them.

Cake Head

I’m not sure why she put a play counting/stacking cake on her head, but she did.

It became her chef’s hat as she delivered food to us.
