This tiny finch rules the sunflowers.

Yes, we made it to Spring! Hooray, achoo! Now can we keep up with it? Spring has sprung! Along with the burst of blooms comes an abundance of outdoor chores. I’ve compiled a tidy list in my mind to keep things moving along.

The bossy parrot is back for the Summer!    
  • Welcoming last years perennials.
  • Opening up the garden shed for the first time, yikes! 
  • Discovering that the bird bath, needs a bath.
  • Planting the crops.
  • Taming the weed kingdom.
  • Keeping the bunnies safe from The Black Dog.
  • Coaxing the grass to grow.
  • And the best part, peeking under the pool cover and adding the chemicals to bring the pool back to life for the Summer. 

There are a few things that Mommies In Orbit doesn’t particularly care for in the early Spring. Like bending and kneeling after a long winter, coaxing my body into shorts for the first time, allergy medicines that only work half-assed, realizing that a 20 pound bag of potting soil now feels like 50 pounds, and accepting the scary thought that the aliens are nearing the end of the school year!!

This will get the job done!

25 days to go!

Who’s counting anyway? How many martinis can be sipped poolside? How relaxing can turquoise water possibly be? Bring me my shades Smart Border Collie!

My awesome buddies!
