Daisies
Picked for me by my oldest son. (Actually, pruned for me by my oldest son. He was desperately looking for things he was allowed to prune because he really really loves to use the pruners.)

Outside Art
We were having a frustrating morning. We were all getting grumpy with each other. We needed to go do something different.
I put a long piece of easel paper down on the ground and we splattered paint on it.
My idea was to run some of our outside cars and trucks around in it to see the wheel prints.
But that didn’t last long….. and then the shoes came off.
And my goodness did they have fun with their feet!!
And their hands. It quickly turned into a full body experience.
And after the first three sheets were filled, they wanted to do it again.
First Salad
It’s May 1st, today we enjoyed our first garden salad of the season. A lettuce blend, baby spinach, baby chard, overwintered arugula, thinnings of early Walla Walla onions, and baby radishes.
It was good.
I’m thrilled to be starting to eat from our garden, and excited to know this is just the beginning!
Just for comparison to the last post… scale pictures of the salad stuff before I harvested:
