Planning and wishing and lots of hope....is it Spring yet??

We took the kids to the local farm store......chicks are in!!



How can I ever resist begging spring to arrive by holding tiny little balls of fluff??
Thankfully the employees are used to parents like me who let their kids love all over the little babies (with no kissing of the little birds....) but Marin seriously fell in love with a little bunny that all the employees were carrying around.

We had to convince her that a baby bunny might be adorable now but it would make a yummy little kitty treat once she got it home....

Brett and I spent a bit of time planning what we want in our garden this year. Most years we have too much desire and too many dreams....other years we actually accomplish it! This will be the second year in the new garden spot and I'm not sure what we will end up with. I think I have 40 packets of seeds. Is that too many? He he he!

These are pictures of what a beautiful garden looks like. I'll pretend this is what mine will look like. I usually get huge Hollyhocks and Sunflowers in the middle of my plants which is pretty gorgeous until they block all the sun from the stuff I planted on purpose.

My mission this year is to propagate and grow my most favorite plant.....

My second mission this year is to kill anything that looks like the plant in the picture below....it is looking like it will be a very busy year.

Then after all those....I need some sidewalk, Brett needs a shed, a couple of new garden hoses, move the composters, spray sealant on the deck and arbor.....the list goes on and on and on....
I LOVE SPRING!!! (why is it snowing outside??)

U2 still rocks!

We took Carmen to her first 3D movie last weekend.
We absolutely had to take her to see U23D.
I have seen it twice now and would willingly go back with anyone who wants to go.
It makes me contemplate how a group can stay so consistently wonderful for 30 years...

So look for the new U2 CD tomorrow.....and I am looking for a concert schedule soon. If they come to the US I will be there!! JJ - will you be ready to go?
