Spring has come to Connecticut and I am so excited!! Spring means shorts, flip flops, ice cream, and gardening. This year I am going to try my hand at my first real garden. From what I hear it is not hard to get things to grow in New England. I am going to put that to the test and see if it's actually true. I planted my seeds a month ago and they are getting so big. In the next couple weeks I am going to put them outside. I am already having cravings for fresh juicy watermelon. Fingers crossed!!!

| The tree in our front yard is starting to bloom with beautiful purple flowers. |
 |
| Clint said I went a little overboard for my first garden. He literally had to pick me up and carry me away from the seed turnstyle at Homedepot. |
|
 |
| All planted and ready to germinate. |
 |
| Sunflower starting to pop up out of the soil. |
 |
| So far so good... |
 |
| The sunflowers got so big so fast. I am sooo excited. |
 |
| The plants got big really fast so I had to transplant them into their own cups. |
 |
| My garden window. It makes me so happy! |
After taking a break for a month or so after our dinning room renovation, Clint and I decided we were ready to dig into another project. This time we are working on the living room. Clint and I don't like the popcorn ceilings so we decided to remove it in the living room. It was very messy and challenging, but we feel it was totally worth it.
 |
| Finally got the baseboard heaters painting in the dinning room. They look so much better. |
 |
| Clint starting on the long process of scrapping off the popcorn ceiling. |
 |
| Clint was such a trooper. He got the whole ceiling done in a day and a half. |
 |
| Gotta have the mask. Taking the popcorn off was soooo dusty. |
 |
| Oreo got pretty bored with the whole process. |
 |
| Oreo wanted a mask too. NOT! |
 |
| What a mess! |
 |
| Oreo likes being right in the middle of everything. Can you tell? |
 |
| I don't think we will ever get rid of all the dust. |
 |
| Look like anything to you? |
 |
| Hmmmm.... |
 |
| The culprit.... ;) |
