Spring is on the way.

We are getting ready to spring forward tonite with the clocks. I am so ready for spring. I have started on the garden. I got 3 bunches of onions and radishes planted a couple of weeks ago. They are really looking nice. I started jalepeno pepper plants, cucumbers, squash and birdhouse gourds from seed. They are starting to make green leaves. Johnny got the tiller out today and we got the garden bed tilled. I hope to get the tomatoes in soon. We really need some rain. I have a few flowers blooming, the 2 year old azaleas are really pretty. The roses are doing good too.
Sandra and the boys arrived the middle of February and they have been keeping us busy. Morgan has enjoyed playing with Clay and Spencer. She wants to hold Spencer but he is nearly as big as she is. He is crawling everywhere and pulling up. I am sure he will be walking soon. Clay brought his John Deere tractor and he has been helping around the yard. He is so cute. Sandra went to Dallas for an Advocare seminar for one weekend and we kept the boys. It was the first time she had left Spencer. We had a fun weekend. Then they have been gone for a week to San Diego to see Rebecca, Phil and Macy. They will be back on the 9th.
I worked this week really hard on the new room. I got the ceiling finished except for touchups and got the walls primed and painted! I am so excited to get the color on the walls. I really like it. It is an orchid purple. It reminds me of a colored easter egg. Next big project is to get the floor down and the trim on the windows and door. Johnny surprised me by putting up a screen door so now I can leave the door open and enjoy the outdoors while I am working. It is finally coming together. We will be trying to paint the outside and get the rest of the shingles on the house during spring break.
Talked to mom and she is planning on coming for a visit the first of April. I am looking forward to her visit.
