Coming Alive at Happy Acres

Oh My! I can’t believe it’s spring already! I took these pictures a few days ago and so much has already changed!

I really love Spring with everything coming alive again.

Love these daisies. I moved them to this area so they could spread

Both of those previous pictures are taken in our new bed we planted last year after we lost that beautiful Elm.

We had our first taste of our asparagus out in the garden yesterday. Just one ready for picking! It’s three weeks early this year.

We’re hoping we won’t get a hard freeze. I’d hate to lose our cherries.

I cleaned out the hosta beds Wednesday and found them coming up.

I also cleaned up the porch so we could start using it again. Last year it rained all spring. Then it was too hot to sit out there. Hopefully, we’ll get more use of the porch this year. Our new Dusty loves it out there. And he also has grown. We added a pound to him in the last month.

Here’s another shot of our growing boy.

But let’s not leave out Puddin, who appears to have slimmed down a bit for her new buddy. We bought them this play tower since Dusty loves to climb. However, he hasn’t had much interest in it. However, Puddin was climbing on it the day we brought it home.

And since it is Spring, we have gone to smoothies for breakfast. I made this lovely Black Raspberry Smoothie this morning from last year’s crop.

That’s it for now. I’m headed out to mulch the hostas and the other beds in the front. So much to do at this time of the year. Have a great weekend.
