We recently went to the local Flea Market for a family outing and we found a few interesting items… not as many as our last Flea Market shopping trip but still a few. We didn’t really have anything in particular that we were looking for… just some fun, quality time as a family.

Whew! It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve actually sat down and checked in on the blog. We’ve been so busy… every time we think it couldn’t get any busier or any more exciting than it does and just when we think we might have a chance to rest a bit something else happens. We’ve also had some appointments, birthdays, and special dances thrown in too!
Little miss enjoying the wind and making shadow friends!

We can see the signs of Spring all around us as the fruit trees and bushes are starting to bloom, the birds are nesting, and our animals are having little ones. We can also see the pollen everywhere but it reminds us that everything is starting fresh and new for the year and it is kind of exciting.
One of the things that the kids always look forward to are these Empty Tomb Rolls at Easter. Since I’ve been studying more about the Holy Days vs Holidays I’m not sure how our Easter will look as I am really leaning more into a Passover celebration.

For Valentine’s Day/my birthday, I received some potted Tulips and a couple of small lemon trees which I am excited to find a place for. The kids have also been excited as they know this means that we will make a new garden space where there is nothing at present… we all love a good makeover! I’m sure you may have already seen some glimpses of this space before this post comes out as I’ve been writing a little ahead but that’s ok 🙂
I know that my kiddos have been excited to learn more about Victory Gardens so we are constantly reading more and more articles about them as we work on planning out our garden. We seriously need to get out this weekend to get some plants started as the chickens got into the garden beds a decimated everything that was growing… I do need to check and see if there might have been some root crops that were spared.
I wasn’t always as fond of gardening as I am now. There was a time in my childhood that I dreaded the ‘G’ word and it meant a lot of hard work. We depended on the garden for our sustenance and we all needed to do our share of the planting, weeding, and storing so that we would have plenty of food to get us through the winter.

February was a short month but we had a lot of stuff packed into it. We’ve been working really hard this past month and we have the sore muscles to prove it. We made a lot of progress in a lot of areas and we are pretty proud of all that we have accomplished… our family is a great team!
I’ve put together a few pictures to show some of what we’ve done over the past month.
