Things are growing around here.

Our garden plot has been tilled and we optimistically planted the first of our spring seeds on a chilly grey day in the still-cool earth. 

In a few months this empty plot of land will be filled with a jungle of green: plants and weeds alike will be fighting for space to live, and we will (with any luck) be spending a lot of our time tending to this little patch of earth.

The seedlings we planted indoors last month have begun to look like the plants they are - peas, tomatoes, basil, zinnias, onions are all awaiting their time to be put in the earth (when it becomes just a little warmer ;) )  

Our chicks arrived in early April:

And now, 4 weeks later:

Change is all around me - daily -

 as the earth shifts before my eyes from white

- to brown 

- to green.  

Color popping out of the earth and sky like jewels.

Here's to all things growing.
