Step back to a simpler time..... : Some spring photos.....enjoy!

So this week we finished planting the garden, we also started picking Strawberries and haven't stopped! They are so delicious, so far we've had strawberries on vanilla ice cream, strawberry smoothies, homemade strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream, strawberries on cereal, and just plain strawberries warm and freshly picked---let me say--YUMMY!!!! I am making jam next week---we've also had salad with Spinach, radishes, and leaf lettuce from the garden this week--the herbs are all taking off, Dill, Sage, a few different types of Basil, Thyme, Lemon Thyme, several types of Oregano, Chives, Lavender--can't wait to make fresh pesto!! Last summer a friend and I started a Mint bed, we planted chocolate mint, peppermint, spearmint, apple mint, and this year my mom gave me Lemon balm, which is actually a mint with a Lemon smell and flavor to it, I love Lemon!! WOW---we have mint everywhere---the kids are bugging for "meadow tea" which I will be making this weekend and my crystal ball tells me I will be making several more batches of shortcake as well! For some reason my camera has been acting up and won't transfer new photos to my computer, but I will figure out this glitch and post new photos of the berries and the garden later this weekend. For now the first 9 of these pictures are recent and the other are from last year...enjoy!
