Spring is that you? The other day I spied little blooms starting to appear on a few trees around town, so perhaps spring is indeed on its way. This maxi dress has be really wanting warmer weather to arrive, as it's the perfect simple summer dress, but for now I'm adding a bit of warmth by layering, and luckily the sun provided enough heat that I didn't even need a coat on top.
My little basil seeds have started to sprout in my windowsill, so maybe spring really is on its way. I have big plans to renovate our yard to create a side-yard with a patio and garden and I want to garden a ton this summer! I've got like three issues of Sunset magazine all about gardening and a bunch of starters all ready to go on our kitchen table. I'm a super-newb when it comes to gardening, so hopefully this first summer isn't a total bust, but even if I totally fail it'll at least be a learning experience and next summer will be better. Do you guys have any favorite online gardening resources? It's still a bit chilly, I think, to start outdoor beds (which is good because I haven't built them yet...), but I'm excited to be able to start getting my hands and knees dirty!
