It Feels Like Spring Time!

Everything is green and growing again after the dry season.  Seth, Brina, and I couldn't resist spending some time outdoors.



 
Birds are everywhere in our yard.  BJ recently brought home this beautiful bird feeder which is now hanging in the tree outside outside our living room window.  I love it!  The birds love it too!


With it feeling like spring time, I am in a gardening mood.  Seth and I are having fun planting.  We planted sunflowers behind this hedge.  They have pushed through the soil, and I counted 26 of them in a row back there.  My back yard is going to be beautiful very soon. 


We also planted lettuce, green onions, radishes, tomatoes, and cilantro in pots.  And I tilled up a small plot and planted some eggplant seeds.  I am already seeing little green shoots coming up!


Last night, my hubby brought me home some geraniums so I can hang them under our front verandah.  He says it is my Mother's Day present a little early.  So sweet.  I can't wait to plant them in pots and hang them up. 

I never thought it would feel like springtime on the equator!

* Today we will have Ceasar Chicken Wraps for supper.  And for lunch, I want to try a recipe I saw recently for BLT bruschetta.
