It might be cold and sometimes snowy outside, but spring is in full swing.

The first seedlings in my garden are coming up. Every time I plant a seed I feel anxious, not knowing if the seeds I sow will grow or thrive. All the veggies I seeded are doing wonderful. (I did freeze some lettuce transplants though.)

The bulbs in the front yard are blooming. My three year old has preemptively opened some of the flowers. And my toddler likes to sit on them. It makes the bed more interactive.

The garden center is filled with color. We went to buy some transplants and explore, regardless of the snow falling. So many plants were blooming! My son kept asking me what everything is and I realize how out of practice I am identifying plants: I need to study. (We went down to Willard Bay Gardens. It is an awesome place for perennials)
