Easter-ness

So here are the goodies the girls garnered this year.

And here are the girls! (notice they even are wearing BOWS!)

Dirt is like therapy

On Friday, Josh's family got together for an early Easter party and we moosied up to Clearfield for that. Very nice. Thanks for hosting Katie! On the way, we went and found some pellet store for Josh  to sand/abrasion stuff for work. Then we went to the new Whole Foods at Trolley Square and ate at their mini-food court (all healthy stuff). It was very interesting to see so much 'good-for-you' food in one place.

We also went to a nursery and got some plants!!

Saturday, Josh had to go to Logan to help former boss/grad advisor with the laser. So the girls and I had a lovely at-home day.

I went a little crazy in the yard and did the following projects:

Planted more strawberries in our box:

 Planted asparagus behind strawberries:

 Check out your rhubarb transplant Marcil!

Then I dug up a LOT of sod and weeds and planted our new grape vines!

Also the girls braved the 40-degree weather to come out and look at work, check out the rolly polly I found while digging, and of course, play on the jungle gym.

 I moved all the sand-inducing stuff off the patio (and cleaned out the toy kitchen).

The sand box is now here: (possible home of new big sandbox):

Then I planted our new raspberries:

 Mowed the lawn, swept all the sand off the patio, made bread, cleaned the house, did the wash. And finally, I remember to plant my new peppermint. Now I can try 'real' peppermint herbal tea!

It was a wonderful day out in the yard, digging in the dirt and putting little plants in to grow and bloom. My back massager was even more appreciated last night! Josh got home fine and we are looking forward to a lovely Easter day. We are grateful for the eternal, happy message of Easter: "He is not here, he is risen."
