Strolling!

In an effort to get outside today and enjoy some sunshine Audrey and I took the dogs on a stroll. I think everyone enjoyed the sunshine and warmer weather. The sky is bright blue, the grass is a touch greener, and the birds are chirping in full force. It finally feels like spring is going to peek through!

Also, today I started some seeds inside and I cannot wait for my first sprouts. I'm going to plant my own vegetable garden this spring, so I'm waiting to sow those seeds outside but I did start my Thyme and three different types of foxglove. Foxglove is my absolute favorite flower. I'm growing the "foxy" mix, a pale pink variety, and a rather rare yellow foxglove, which I am excited about. I've got lots of dappled sunlight around our home, so the foxgloves just thrive. I'm also going to try my hand at growing a few other flowers from seed such as ruffled pansies, columbine & love-lies-bleeding.
