Summer is coming!

I love it when the weather warms up, the days get longer and the flowers start blooming. The anticipation for summer is great! Spring is my favourite season of all. This week, I took the kids to Home Center, a store similar to Home Depot, to pick up a couple things for the yard. The whole store is ready for summer – all the outdoor furniture, plants, pool stuff, garden stuff and camping gear is out on display. I got a warm, fuzzy feeling walking through the store! 🙂

We went back today to pick up a few things to get us ready for summer: an umbrella for our outdoor table and a few plants for the backyard. We didn’t want to get too many plants since we’ll be in Canada for most of the summer, but we got some lilies to plant around the yard and a couple of smaller plants for Kirsi to plant and take care of. We also got some seeds that Der and Kirsi are going to plant so Kirsi can what her own flowers and carrots grow.
