This big dead tree has been looming over our cars for months. Relieved that Smoochie took it down before spring storm season!
And a few unrelated photos of the Missouri River at sunrise…
Happy Spring!
We love circus-y things in Spy Garden (click here to see us showing off more of our circus tricks). St. Louis has a wonderful circus arts school that offers many classes, including flying trapeze lessons (click here to check them out)! I am a proficient juggler, so naturally, juggling clubs while walking the slackline is coming soon. Ha! But for now, I’m happy to enjoy the tricks of the spring garden…
I planted this Great Burdock from seed last spring and it grew very slowly all season but popped up this spring and is growing like crazy! Here are some ideas for cooking burdock roots.
The two large shrubby plants at either end of this row are thyme; they’ve gotten so huge! I may move them as they are taking up a lot of prime real estate.
I think I will be growing pumpkins in this patch in a few months. For now it has: tulips, onions, love-in-a-mist flowers, red romaine and Monstreux de Viroflay spinach
In Squirrely Garden…
And springing around St. Louis…
Smoochie took the kids on a SIX mile hike last Sunday; SIX miles!
The other day Smoochie saw this sign/a bunch of riders with their horses and pulled over for the kids to get a closer look.
