Merry Spring!

It is rather embarrassing that it's been about 7 months since my last blog! I don't know where the time went but I do know that my mind has been preoccupied for most of it as I am now thirty-seven weeks pregnant with a little baby girl. Needless to say, there has been a lot of preparation and energy put into her imminent arrival ever since late summer. My husband, Matt, and I feel as ready as we can possibly be at this point as we begin the wait.


I decided that today would be a good day to update my blog as a celebration of Spring, new life and growth. Today as I started my first flower seeds for the garden this summer, I day-dreamed about planting the garden, weeding and harvesting the vegetables with my baby and how absolutely wonderful that will be. I hope that she will enjoy it too. 


I don't normally start many flower seeds, if any at all, but today I sowed lupins, oriental poppies, and cosmos to brighten up the vegetable beds this year. Perhaps I thought Baby Kasvinsky would enjoy the colorful flowers amongst all the shades of green. I have always loved oriental poppies and I am hoping to get these to bloom during our short growing season since I started them so early. Lupins tend to do pretty well as perennials in gardens here and the cosmos do help keep ladybugs in the vicinity of the garden which is a bonus to their beauty.
