AJ and I went for a walk on Friday - I had the day off, and Alli was at daycare - one of the few opportunities we had to take the dogs out together - and the flowers are out enforce!

 

And I have cucumber coming up!!

And beans!  

I brought Jessie to work with me, and remembered why I don't do it more often....she's such a pest sometimes, nothing is safe!

 

And more roses are blooming...soon the whole bush will be blooming!

 

I have a few roses blooming now:

And the rose bush is covered in buds:

 

Morning light....

 

More Spring pictures - though I should take a picture of all the pollen on the cars to show the "real" Spring we have.  

 

And the girls were released from the coop yesterday - they were loving the new area to dig around in.

 

The lavender is starting to bloom...

 

The garden is (almost) in, and I replaced all the drip this year - a new skill for me!!  Of course, it started raining (again) yesterday, so I don't need to use the irrigation system for a while, but....it's ready!!

I have 5 tomato plants (I planted 6, but there were very large foot prints around one plant the next day, and the stem was broken...Ripley!!!)

I have snap peas, Japanese eggplants, sweet peppers and hot peppers.....

and lemon cucumbers....

I also have bok choy that's flowering.  I was going to tear it out, but the bees were enjoying it too much, so it can stay until I get seeds to plant there.

The chicks have arrived!!  They are almost 8 weeks old, so aren't "babies" now - big enough to be out in the coop - no heat lamp.  I have two Golden Wyandotte and one Silver Wyandotte - so pretty!!  Cindy's daughter raised them for me up to this point and Cindy delivered them yesterday, and is staying for a visit - a double win!!)

AJ and I put up a chicken wire fence around part of the side yard....

I started taking the kittens out with me to work, and sometimes it just doesn’t work, right?  My typing skills are not improved by a butt plant on the keyboard.
