The weather has been absolutely beautiful this past weekend. We didn't get out to actually enjoy it too much, so yesterday afternoon the girls and I decided to have an afternoon snack picnic. This is what ended up becoming of our snack picnic, a snow garden. I was cleaning up some left over fall flower bed debris, when they decided to use it to plant. They took the stalks and meticulously dug a hole in the snow and planted each one. By the time they had finished, there were over 25 stalks planted in our left over snow. They had such a wonderful time. The idea of not having to wear bulky hats, mittens, and coats, yet still play in the snow was an overwhelmingly joyous occasion. It also made me crave the arrival of spring to start our 'real' garden, which by the looks of it they will be very enthusiastic!!
