Spring has officially sprung and boy did it happen fast. Overnight the buds on the trees opened and there were tiny leaves in the morning.
I can see how things grow overnight in my greenhouse but it’s pretty amazing to see it happen in nature.
Sunday morning we had our first tea & coffee on the front porch. It’s was Roxy’s first time ever sitting on the porch in the morning.
Nelly was so excited when I told her what we were doing, she raced to the door and jumped up on “our” couch.
I converted the loveseat into a couch so there was more room on the “our” side.
I also turned the couch facing the street which is a better view than the pig stye next door.
Who throws their own coffee cups on the ground in front of your residence? Well our neighbor does and any idea where they wind up?
You guessed it, that was too easy. Zero lack of respect for where he lives, our town, or us who has to constantly pick up his cigarette butts and coffee cups. 😠
Another first was last night, we had our first official 2025 dinner party under the pergola.
It looked so pretty and the meal was cooked at the outdoor kitchen. Easy peasy entertaining.
We had a short and lovely dinner on a Monday night. It was an early night for everyone. It was perfect.
Another first today was after working in the garden I took an outdoor shower! It was sunny and 84 degrees.
It came back to me as soon as the shower rain head began to wet my hair and dripped down my body.
Taking an outdoor shower is fucking awesome!!! Our outdoor one is so much nicer and better than our indoor one.
For the next 6 months, we will be using it and loving the view of the sky!
Marty’s first was going into the pool which is 80 degrees! It was in the mid 60s last week before he turned on the heater.
I’m waiting until we install the wedding cake steps which will happen soon.
I am enjoying celebrating the seasonal firsts. They fill me with joy and gratitude.
Today almost felt like summer. Tomorrow will be back to spring, which is ok too.
