Warm days
...means lunch (and snacktime and even dinner) outside on our little patio! Quick, before the weather warms up too much and we roast out there. Gemma loves to eat her snacks while pointing at the birds and trees and imitating the loud call of the crows; then she gets down & walks around to look for bugs and dandelions (which she calls "daisies").
We're also seeing some beautiful blooms on our clematis already, and are in process of getting herbs and flowers in pots. Pansies, for one, as they will be able to handle the sun and heat on the patio. We had such a mild winter that the rosemary, lavender, oregano, thyme and mint all survived outside and are growing again! And this winter I didn't prune the clematis, and already it looks much healthier and full of blooms than it ever did all spring or summer during the last two years. Slowly we are learning a thing or two.
