What makes 30 dirty toes? Garden Time~
A few weeks ago we started our seeds in the green house. Last week the girls discovered some green peeking through.Our sweet neighbor brought the John Deer over and helped break up the ground while Allen went over it with the tiller.
The rest of the afternoon was spent with tiny feet running through the fluffy dirt. I even got in on some of the fun. The dirt feels so good as it moves through your toes. I love this time of year. It's refreshing after spending many weeks indoors. So do you too have garden plans this year? What are you planting?

Catherine,
I can imagine the smell of the freshly cultivated earth, the soft, coolness of the soil on the feet and the hope of what will come when we begin to plant our seeds!

What a lot of learning and fun.
Love it!! Every child in the world should get to experience this.
And, frankly, I'm more than a little jealous. It's sleeting here right now, with a forecast of 6-10 inches of snow. :-( I want some sunny garden weather, too!!!
Love your pictures, as always! You have such a bright and happy blogland home.
That's a lot of dirty piggies! I love that the little one is gardening in her tutu! So cute! We're definitely doing tomatoes, but what else, I'm not sure yet... :)
I do plan on lots of herbs this year and tomotoes and okra. ;)
I love the photos!
I love the horse riding tutu girl in the dirt!! LOVE it! =)
So much fun!
I need more land so I can have the garden I dream of...
oh well... just a few veggies for now!
Oh my goodness! What a fabulous post! Love, love, love the pictures! I'm so very jealous! We plan on starting our seeds in the basement this weekend with a grow light and heat mat. We woke to an inch of snow this first day of spring. I enjoyed living vicariously through your post. :)
What a great thing to do as a family. I love that she is in a tutu!
this looks like such perfect family time....and well worth the dirty feet
Beautiful Family. I just love your blog. This is a weird question but I was wondering how you get your columns so big. My columns are squished for some reason? I love how yours are spaced.
pink tutus and mud ... what a fun sight!
There is so much joy over here! I LOVE dirty toes. I have dirty fingers from planting over here, but have yet to experience the joys of dirty toes. WOOHOO here we come.
Friend, you capture joy so well with the camera. Would you be interested in snapping away with us. I have seen a lack of joyful living in my life and from the sounds of comments on my blog others need the push to joy just as much as me. So, I'm a thinking of starting a joy post where we all can share the challenge and jump in together. Once a week, we can share what we did just for the joy of livin' life, encourage others to get zany and joy filled and spread more joy! Whatdya think"
Learnin, LIvin, Lovin it,

I got all my cold crops in! And, it snowed here this morning, I hope they had time to germinate. I blogged recently about our garden. I can't wait to sell at the farmers' market.
Tutus and mud never looked better!
So cute and hallelujah! My fingers are aching for some time in the soil!
We are cutting back on our garden this year. I'm not sure what hubby's plans are, but the ground was tilled Saturday. Corn is definitely on the menu. Love the fact she's out there in her tutu!! Thank you so much for stopping by my place and for the sweet comment you left!!
I just planted a couple of starts in my greenhouse as well. And, my husband was out there tilling the garden, although I think the only thing we can plant yet are peas and onions. We live in the garden in the Summer. Not as much as we get a lot of rain, but we live there when the weather is reasonable in the Spring too. Absolutely love warm weather.

Us too Cathy. Its been so nice here. Even reaching 70. Then today it was 35. I hope that was the last of the cold...
Hi Catherine how wonderful to be back again and see your happy feet. Were are yours? :-)))
Just checked out your latest post and have to say you have wonderful kiddos. Your pictures are great and I want to ask you how you put them in these mosaic frames?
Well be blessed and have a wonderful week. Do keep us informed about your greens that are growing.
Hugs Dagmar
Great pictures; very cute!! Enjoying pottering through your blog - we seem to love many of the same things :)
I think its too early to plant stuff here..but maybe in a few weeks. We are going to plat a simple butterfly garden and a pumpkin patch to bloom in the fall.
My kids are definately out getting very dirty too though...lol
I'm going to try my hand at gardening this year. But, I tend to have more of a brown thumb.
LOL, Im sure you will be great! Thank you all for posting:)
love the pic with the dirt on the feet! how cute!
Thank you~
