Monday ushered in a delightfully & unseasonably warm spring day in the
Pacific Northwest. Heaven! A picture perfect day to sun my garden starts, on the
island in our outdoor kitchen and get the young plants
acclimated to the real world – the great outdoors! These are the

little guys I started from seed – inside…in my makeshift
potting shed. The organic rainbow carrots, French heirloom zucchini and purple
pod beans are faring just fine while the rustic style arugula has a ways to go.
Soon it will be time for the starts to hit the dirt in our raised garden bed! Can’t wait!
Meanwhile…

In bloom in our garden right now: Our fruit trees! Miniature plums to be exact!
The fruit is insanely sweet as are the pretty white blooms :)

Soon, the water toys just beyond…will be back on
the lifts and there will be a cool NEW seating situation on the end of

the dock! Spring has arrived and all of the summer fun
isn’t far behind!

Lovely photos, Monica!!
That is such a lovely view, Monica!! Love your triple standard topiary. I hope you’ll be planting more white lavender this season. Happy spring, Loi
