Spring and Birthdays






It has been a busy few months, and we are sorry that we blog so rarely now.

Our days end up being really action packed, getting the boys off to school and then working as much as possible in the time before we need to pick them up.

We have been spending most weekends working on the yard. Cleaning it up, getting our plants in, and all of that.

Our compost pile finally took off in the last few weeks. We'd started it late last year with a pile of organic kitchen waste, and then plopped all our fall leaves on top. We knew that wasn't the right combination, but we just had to get our leaves out of the yard. Then of course the whole pile became frozen over the winter. We've been adding greens steadily since the snow melted, and BINGO this weekend I was thrilled to see broken-down compost throughout the steamy pile.
Good times.

Here are some photos of all my guys, and my birthday celebration.
