Spring Planting

Our weather has been consistently warm now, so I've been working hard trying to beautify the outside! We bought lots of gorgeous flowers from a local Amish farm and I planted some in the back. The rest I put into hanging pots for the front porch.

Have you ever seen black petunias?









We've been looking for a good deal on a riding mower because it just takes way too much time to do it with a push mower. Our issue was how to get it home since we don't have a truck or a trailer. Well this Troybilt popped up right down the street,and it turned out to be an awesome deal! Only a few months old with all paperwork. And Nick was able to drive it home!! I'm the mower in the family, and I'm planning the maiden voyage for this weekend.



We also got a steal on a much bigger and stronger snowblower, but I didn't get a picture of it.

Today Nick and I manually tilled up the dirt in the garden and mixed in some good compost. I planted seeds for corn, bell peppers, carrots, and romaine lettuce so cross your fingers that they all sprout and grow! And on that subject, our grapevines, blueberry bush, and pear tree are still alive!
