Spring in the garden

We did a bit of bulb-planting last fall, and here are the results:

 Wee little daffodils by "The Dostal River", aka, our drainage ditch.

At this rate, I'll be doing quarterly picture dumps... As always, I've had several blog posts in mind, but my usual inability to sit down at the desktop has hindered my post production.  I can't work with pictures from the camera or type meaningfully while on the iPad or my iPhone.  This post is brought to you by Daddy convincing Samuel to take a nap with him, thereby leaving me with only one child to wrangle for an hour or so.

 Astro boy?

 Whoa! What's up with the freaky white stuff?!?

 When people see Samuel and Solomon together, they remark on the family resemblance.

 But I say these two are the ones who look most alike.

 Apparently we broke the mold after Eve.

 Eve's 8th birthday decorations.

This warning was on the back of the St. Michael toy packaging.  If nothing strikes you as odd, read it again, slowly.  I swear, I don't go looking for typos, they find ME.
