It’s officially spring!

tyler | April 7, 2008


Here at our house we decide when spring is by the first sunday it is warm enough to eat hot dogs at Scooby’s outside under the umbrellas (on North Ave in West Chicago). Well yesterday was that day! Yeah!!!!




The girls even spent some time down in the creek behind the house. Melissa (wife) and I cleared brush and sucker trees from the creek bank in preparation for building a little "forest walk" area by the creek.


I also got a call from Moose Tubers that my seed potatoes are shipping tomorrow.  Good thing I got the potatoe bed started on Saturday!
