Welcome May!

It was a nice, sunny morning when we got up this morning so I packed up the kids in the car, grabbed the stroller and headed over to the town next door. They were having city wide garage sales, the first Farmer's Market of the season and there was a book sale at the local library.

We bought about 15 new strawberry plant to add to our garden, 12 or so new books (cookbooks, kids books and a few books for me), orange juice, a cookie and tattoo and Madeleine had a flower painted on her face all for about $20. Not bad for a Saturday morning.

The Farmer's market was pretty small but it was only the first of the season. I hope it grows as the season goes on because it is literally 10 minutes from the house which is nice. I have limited space to grow anything so it is nice to have a place close by to supplement from. Or in the case of last year, the entire garden tanks and you have to buy all your vegetables anyway. Seriously, even the zucchini didn't grow last year, that's how bad it was. It never really got very hot, which was nice for being at home with a brand new baby but not so good for the garden.
