...and all over the car!!! And you wonder why Erik and I have been dying from our allergies lately! The pollen is crazy right now! So gross.
But we have gotten into the spring spirit and have attempted to plant some grass in our front yard. It is already coming in really well, it's nice and bright. Unfortunatly it POURED the day after we planted which kinda washed a lot of the seed and top soil away, making little ditches, and patches, so we will probably have to plant more soon. But I think it's off to a pretty good start.
I Love the view from my kitchen window looking out, and I love the view of my house when I pull up. Especially with the blooming tree, so gorgeous! (i just wish it didn't shed so much!) As you can see our tulips are in full bloom. We planted a bunch of other bulbs in the fall that haven't come up yet. I am a little worried since we always catch the squirrels digging in our garden, would squirrels dig up/eat bulbs?
We have had so much fun experimenting. We also have several pots on our back patio. We are attempting to grow strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, and cilantro as well as more flowers. And just for the record I keep getting asked, who is into gardening, and to be honest it really is more Erik than me. (so don't worry I don't force him out there to do all this-he drags me out there!) I mean I like it and think it's pretty but Erik is really gung ho about it, which makes me happy. It's fun to have something to work on together. So...Happy Spring! (and hopefully the temperature will go back to normal, we have had 80's and a few days in the 90's this week!) Let's just say I am very grateful I will not be pregnant still in July! Nichole + Pregnant + heat= bad news.

That pollen is crazy! And yes, be very thankful you aren't pregnant in July! I imagine the humidity would be AWFUL!
I feel your allergy pain, it is so insane! Happy birthday, and see you soon at your shower!
Our car looks exactly the same! We've been walking in yellow haze for over a week now.
Your yard is darling!
Beautiful yard, Nichole! And yes, squirrels can be guilty of bulb stealing and eating. We've been a little reluctant to plant some yet, since we've got rabbits, groundhogs, and deer around along with squirrels. I sure loved the bits of time we had for "prego-talk" over Easter weekend at the Foxes. Hopefully, Lucy and Johnathan will come before the permanent heat wave of summer crashes upon us! :)
Haha! Love that car picture. We just had to wash ours yesterday...
I LOVE your flowers, they're so pretty!
I love to look across the street at your yard. Aren't you glad we planted new bushes. Ha ha
