March

When March officially arrives on the calendar, I feel hopeful again that warm weather will return for awhile. I also get the ITCH to get out in the yard and plant my flowers and landscape. Well, the flower planting obviously can't happen for a few weeks outside, but we have started in our house.

Back in the fall, I mentioned that I was collecting seeds from my flowers for Aliyah's science project that we would do this spring. We pulled those seeds out the other day and laid out towels to fill up little cups with dirt. I think there are 30 something cups. She was happy to do this. We have them all sitting in a south-facing window so they get sun when it appears. If they do well, Aliyah will be thrilled and momma will be too! I will be thrilled because that will eliminate some flowers that I have to purchase. This is my first time trying to grow a geranium from seed, we'll see how it goes. If it works, then next year I will do many more.

Since it was a rainy day yesterday, we enjoyed it out shopping. We found some SUPER deals at one of our favorite dept. stores. I found it amusing that I saw my OB/Gyn shopping there--well not that she was shopping there, but that she was shopping the 85% off clearance rack =). I guess everyone loves good deals right?

Tonight is Celebrity Apprentice and Amazing Race and cleaning our house. As the March winds blow like a lion outside...
