The Signs of Spring

Planting the peas.

Madeline+dirt+sunshine=happy girl.

FINALLY, spring has come to I.F. and the TeNgaio's made the best of it on Saturday. After dad came back from hugging rocks the whole clan headed to the back yard for some hoe-digging, dirt-cloddin' fun. Madi kept busy tending to her little patch of dirt in a planter while Ethan helped dad clean and prep the garden spot. Then, in went the seeds and down laid the water. Ethan told me we had to wait for 1 week and then we could eat the carrots. Yeah, I wish.
