I pruned our camellias and snipped away at other plants that have been long neglected. Cutting back the rose geranium is always fun because we can bring it's wonderful perfume in the house to enjoy on a rainy day like today.
I've got little bits of it in vases all over the house.
There even a few things blooming:
Heather
And of course the heartiest, most drought and deer resistant plant ever, rosemary.When Husband gets around to replacing our front fence (it's currently held up by some vines and a few strings of tiny white Christmas lights, I've going to replace the present hedge and with all rosemary.
Sophie's class works in their school garden every Friday, and now she's all fired up over her own garden at home.
She spent over an hour weeding and turning her soil and then planted seeds for onions, carrots, radishes, and fava beans.
It started raining last night and has not stopped for a minute all day. We've read in front of the fire; worked on a school report; washed hair; made lasagna (for tonight), chili (for next weekend), cookies (for right now); and bottled homemade limoncello. Taxes? No. Why ruin such a lovely weekend?

Sounds like you had a productive, yet FUN weekend w/your girl! Gardens are so great to have; besides producing something, they just feel good. :)
Looks like a perfect day! I can't believe you're able to plant already. Soooo envious.
Looks like fun! Is that rose geranium in the silver vase? Thanks for your comment today and here's hoping you have a great week!
Ahhh, signs of spring. Glad someone out there is enjoying their garden, the kids have yet another snow day here in the Great White North.
Great way to spend a rainy day :)
I love Heather. Used it in my wedding!
Looks good! We did a little yard work as well on Saturday before the rain came back (ugh!).
Ah, flowers and gardens. We are still knee deep in snow with more to come. Northern California truly is the best of both worlds!
That's rose geranium in the silver vase and with the daffodil. I love having some on my nightstand. Since I've got so much of it, I also whirl a few stems, along with the rind from a juiced lemon, in my garbage disposal to chase away the stinks.
Thanks for stopping by to visit!
What a nice mommy daughter weekend.
I wish we could be gardening, but it's not likely that we'll see the bare ground for a couple more months!
Mousie was a victim of our cat Casper one early morning. We captured/rescued her and didn't have the heart to kill her or let her out in 3 feet of snow.
I can smell that Rosemary from here! Glad to see that it is a family effort!
Have a great time skiing!!
It's so great the Sophie is getting the gardening bug right now. I didn't get it until I was much older even though my mom always grew food and flowers and interesting shrubs.
