SPRING! Another green thumb...








Aside from the insane WIND we've been having it's been a pretty nice Spring thus far here in Colorado. Boulder Farmers Market had it's season opening last weekend and IT WAS PACKED! We mostly stayed away from the crowded market and blew our bubbled in the grassy space surrounding it. It was also warm enough to splash our hands and feet in the Boulder Creek. Let me rephrase...the air outside was warm enough, however the creek was almost painfully cold. Nevi's internal thermostat is always high so she didn't mind the cold water one bit. Her newest favorite activity in the WHOLE WORLD is throwing sticks and rocks in the creek. We usually walk out back to the Coal Creek where we get crazy muddy and explore the ground for fun things like ants, rocks, tracks, leaves, etc. It is hours of entertainment for the both of us and much warmer than the Boulder Creek for me.
Nevi also helped me get the back cleaned up a bit. I raked the leaves away and she helped me place rocks and manage the compost. She spent about an hour making a mulch/rock/dirt display in an old terra-cotta flower pot. She was trying to put the rocks to sleep, with the mulch being their blanket. She kept saying, 'shhhh, it's OK baby rocks....go to sleep now.....' I think we've got another nature lover and green thumb on our hands.
