Spring!

Spring is coming. You can feel a buzz in the air that wasn't there just a week ago, everyone is moving. We have enjoyed a full week (that's right WEEK!) of sunny nearly cloudless weather. Apparently this is unusual but even without all the nice weather you can tell that Spring is in the air.

We went to the market in Bury St. Edmunds today, which was quite fun to do. I haven't been to a market in ages and winter time markets just didn't stir any ambition to get out of the nice warm house. It was a fun time for the most part, Sophia still wanted to "go to the base" but she tolerated mom wandering in circles looking at all the good deals....the markets bring out the penny pincher in me!
We did quite nicely I think, everything in the picture was less than £20. I was on a real produce kick and couldn't resist all the "£1 bowls."

Sophia still got to go to base today as well...mom couldn't resist going to the garden center on a nice warm day. I decided to start a container garden, since we rent and I am not allowed to tear up the yard. Which is wise of our landlord because if I had things my way the whole yard would be one big garden. Until I have that option this will do nicely. For the moment all I could fit in the car was supplies for a small herb garden, some strawberries and tomatoes. I am still working on it and will be adding to and moving plants around to get the best grouping. I am quite pleased with it, hopefully it survives!

Hope everyone is feeling Spring like we are!
