Spring-like

We had over 2 inches of rain last night. Hopefully enough to get my garden going (seeds planted include carrots, the three sisters, okra, dill, lettuce, some various flowers and cucumbers; we also put in a tomato and another type of cucumber seedlings) without washing all the seeds to the corners of the garden boxes.

This is a fragrant time of year here - the freesias are blooming like crazy (I need to pick up some more next time I hit the plant store), the sweet peas finally bloomed, the irises are huge (they hardly bloomed last year - thinning out must have helped), and the cherry and plum trees are flowering. 

One more week of minimum days (which used to be called half-days) and then JT has 2 weeks of Spring Break. I imagine he will be bored after the first half hour...
