Is it Spring yet?

Normally at this time of year, I take a lot of photos in our garden... of flowering fuit trees, sprouting veggie seedlings, beautiful spring and early summer sun. Well... things are a little different this year... for lots of reasons.

Mainly because a. it's been so gloomy and rainy and windy and cruddy out, and b. I have a cute little person to chase around!





(She can walk but still likes to scoot around on her booty like this, to maximize getting dirty: )





Yesterday we harvested some amazing cherries from the neighbor's tree... the branches hanging over our fence are fair game, right? I just can't stand to watch the crows get them all!





We don't need to water because of the incessant rains... yay? Sigh.













Symphony wants to go outside nevertheless... she points to the picture window to the outside and says "car! car! car!"... meaning, "I'm sick of being inside this house, and I've explored every nook and cranny of it, so please take me outside for heaven's sake!"





















So we have our little backyard adventures, and bide our time, waiting longingly for the summer sun...
