It seems the earth and every living thing with gladness sings “it’s spring”.<\/p>\n

Birds are chirping, Birds are nesting, \u00a0days are longer, veggies are growing and I can’t help but hear the echo “It’s Spring!”.<\/p>\n

It’s also that time of the year when plans and projects take on a new high.<\/p>\n

We had an early morning delivery last week – 4.5 pallets of rock retaining wall arrived. We’re still trying to get this project underway.<\/p>\n

I love our springtime roses.<\/p>\n

And we have our first baby strawberry blossom. How exciting is that?<\/p>\n

Since our move to So Cal 4.5 years ago, this is the first I’ve seen a grasshopper out here.<\/p>\n

You lookin’ at me?<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, the hubs and I did a bit more shopping at a few of the local gardening centers.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed a nice dinner date Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

And worked around the house.<\/p>\n

I snapped more images of roses.\u00a0This one is still holding on to its last few petals.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1899B\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And took this image of the top of our succulent in bloom.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_2125\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And and snapped a pic of this rose. I love the layers.<\/p>\n

Another thing I love – Monday (today) – The hubs asked me to be his lunch date. That made my day extra special.<\/p>\n

Now it’s time to get a few more things done around the house before the hubs gets home from work.<\/p>\n
