Spring Has Sprung!

Signs of spring are in the air round these parts....

The birds are chirping,

The flowers are blooming,

It isn't so gloomy everyday.

Time to get out and hoe up our garden to get things planted as the last frost settles in.

I can't wait....

I really want to do something different this year garden space wise but don't have a lot of time/money so whatever is decided it will have to be done between the hubs and I, pretty quick.

In looking for ideas I came across a few cool ideas:



It is only 6x6 so not too terribly big and overwhelming but would allow enough room to grow the essentials.  And I love the trellis (or whatever you call it) for the vine vegetables to grow up.

The other one that I found was much more basic :

It was similar in size just without the trellis.  Either one we will have to dig up some more space because our current garden runs down the side of our house and isn't that big.

Friday Finds

I have a confession.

Pinterest is keeping me up at night.  I lay there and think about all the endless possibilities you can find on that one site.  So,so many things.

And so instead of continuing to lay there in the middle of the night, I get up and pin.  Ok, maybe I don't pin everything I see but I look at a lot of pins.

I am pin-obsessed. 

I drool over all the awesome recipes. Saying, "One day, I am going to try this" and then that one day comes and goes.

I ohhh and ahhhhh over the cutest craft ideas (that I will probably never ever make; I don't have but maybe a small crafty bone in my body; my pinky) but it is still a nice thought that someday. 

Someday I will be organized enough with my small children and they will be truly interested enough to do an actual craft (from beginning to end) that was something other than finger paint all over my table.  Or Q-tips strewn from one side of the house to another (yeah that was last night) AND we weren't even doing a craft, if that tells you something. 

But anyways, yes, I like Pinterest as do many million others.  I hear it is the second fastest growing social media site.  Who would have thunk?  I sure didn't when it was first released.  BUT I jumped on it quick though because EVERYONE was doing it and I am a follower you know (ha!).


Here are some recent Pinterest finds that I am going to do (or not) but I like them never the less.

 

 

 

 

Skinny Spinach Dip.

 

 With the Superbowl coming up quickly I thought this might

be a healthier alternative to the normal chip and dip fare.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spicy Chickpeas
 

I really am going to do this sometime this weekend.

This is such a better alternative to crackers or chips.

And I love chickpeas!

 

 

 

 

Jello Deviled Eggs.

 

How cute are these for Easter!  So, so cute.

 

 

Ok, enough food.  (I think I might be hungry)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am dreaming of spring flowers. 

 

This would look great in my kitchen windowsill.

 

A little bit country.

 

 

 

 

And my garden.  I can't wait. 

I am going to start my herbs

earlier this year and then transplant.
 

I have the perfect place for something like this to hang.
