New season, new blog

It's springtime, the daffodils are in flower, the trees are in bud, and it seems like a good time to re-start our family blog. In the hopes of keeping it marginally up-to-date, I'll be doing things a little differently this time: more pictures, fewer words, and no attempts to be witty or literate or artistic in any way. I can't promise regular updates, but I'm aiming for roughly once a week. I've got three young kids to wrangle, a household to maintain, vegetable and fruit gardens to start, flowerbeds to plan and plant... I'm swamped! ;-)
