sizzling saturday, in the 80's!

Ages ago, probably on a rainy Sunday afternoon, we took the kids to one of those "paint it yourself" pottery places for a treat. Peter painted this little flower pot. I came down this morning to find that he had planted a bit of grass seed in the pot, and put it on the kitchen windowsill as a "happy spring" present.
Seedlings and transplants from our CT gardens all ready to head to Vermont next time we go...
We've got a neat new shop in town, selling "down to earth goods", and they teamed up with our local environmental group to offer compost bins, compost buckets and rain barrels to folks in a bulk order. We bought a barrel to collect rain coming off the gutters. There's spout hardware included. This will go to VT, too.  
Henry and his favorite author, Roger Tory Peterson, dreaming big.

Lazy breakfast, errands, haircut for Gretta, screens in all the windows...

Still on the agenda...making a plate of appetizers to take to our friends' house for a dinner party, getting Gretta safely launched to the prom... 

Going to bed with the windows wide open...

  1. Wow, spring has really taken off where you live and headed straight to summer! How fun to see all your seedlings as well as hear of those high temps.

  2. Yes, what a beautiful day! We were putting screens in windows, too, doing errands and work around the house.
    Hope Gretta has a wonderful time!
