sunshine and flowers

Spring is here! The winds are gusting and the blossoms are blooming. The weather is warming up and we're hoping that there will be no more frosts. It's time to play in the garden!

Our crabapple has been blooming, and it has been spectacular.

Howard dressed Paloma in her party dress (thanks Stevia and Mike) and introduced her to crabapple blossoms.

After we got back from Carlsbad (more about that next time), we had a quick photoshoot in the garden to celebrate our first Mother's Day (with Paloma on the outside).

And then Daddypapa decided that he wanted to get in on the action too:

(Doesn't the apricot look great? Hopefully we will get some fruit this year!)

blog list

We know some other clever people who are writing blogs and so we just added something new to the blog - a list of blogs by family and friends (it's in the left panel, you may have to scroll down a little).

Please let me know if you would like to have your blog added (or removed, for that matter). We love keeping up to date with everyone!

Flamenco

Last weekend, our local co-op celebrated Earth Day with a street festival. They do this every year and it's fun to go down and look about at the different stalls, talk to people about solar energy, and buy some plants. We headed down to pick up a couple of Roma tomatoes (which thankfully survived the frost last night!). While we were there, we stopped to watch the Flamenco dancers.

Paloma was fascinated by the sound and movement.

Absolutely fascinated....

But all that dancing can be exhausting!
