Helloooooo Spring!

Finally, some sun at last!!!  And we sure made the most of it. For the first time ever we have the space for a proper vegetable patch, so today we were all out in the garden digging up the grass.  I was a little over-ambitious in wanting two patches, but after seeing how much work it was to dig the first one, I decided to start out small instead.  And when I started digging and turning the earth, I was very glad we were stopping at the one....I am sure I will ache tomorrow in places that I haven't used in a very long time :-)

can you see patch in the top right of the picture?  That is our next-door-but-one neighbour's veg patch.  It is the length of the entire grassed area of our garden.  I was looking over with much veg-patch-envy

The weight of that patch of grass on the fork is amazing - that's how determined my little girl is!

Sofia was NOT happy being left on the sidelines.....but she has got a cold and I wanted her well wrapped up because there was still a breeze

But she wasn't having any of it, so I got her out so she could take a look and get some proper fresh air....cue much happiness

it was surprisingly hard work! But I'm hoping it will help me shift the extra pounds :-)
