Birds, Bees, and Gardening

We've been having a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful weather here!  Our backyard has been filled with spring birds, buzzing bees, and sunshine as we've been working on our garden.
Tyler and Siena have been having a great time birdwatching in the yard.  We have finches, sparrows, doves and more visiting us everyday.






 Tyler and Siena each got to pick our their own flower to add to our flower garden this year.  Along with the marigolds, geraniums, and tulips, Tyler planted pansies and Siena planted her own primroses.


What the bees LOVE the best in our yard are the tree blossoms!  The pear and cherry tree are both full of flowers and they smell super sweet.

Here's a picture of the kids taking a break in the sandbox after helping to get this little garden plot started.  They love to get dirty, in the garden and the sand both, and so far, have done a nice job of not mixing the two (yet).

Our garden has been coming along.  The strawberries are looking promising this year!  We love to plant things and watch them grow.
