Feskens Spring Recap

Over-due! The biggest understatement I've heard in a while.

We have been BUSY this Spring. Lately it feels like we have had no weekends without a birthday party here, a get together there... a day outing, or working in the yard. Well... there is always working in the yard. That is sure as rain in Washington in our household.

Let us share what we have been up to...

We spent a glorious day in Mt. Vernon visiting the tulip festival fields. If you've never gone, you aren't worthy of calling yourself a Northwesterner. You have to go to see the simple beauty of mass color and uniformity at its finest. You'll never forget it!

 

Remember those planter boxes Ryan worked so hard on? They are done and IN! Two of them anyways. There are more to make and install, but the ones so far are doing fabulous. And they are full of veggies growing like mad.

Getting them in place...

Lining them and filling with compost...

Ryan stomping it in there (he loved that I included this one... heehee)...

Planted them up...

Looking good... lots of work still to do!

We've also spruced up what we like to call our Shade Garden Oasis. The north side of the house used to have a big over-grown tree near the path to the back yard gate. Ryan pulled that out last Spring and we have been working on it little by little ever since.

We hosted a Mother's Day Brunch for our lovely Mom's and my Grandma! It was a perfect day, sun shining and warm. I made a yummy brunch including mini quiches, scones, fresh fruit, apple-sausage patties, and mimosas. Yummm... making me hungry for a Mother's Day repeat. We were glad we could treat them to a relaxing morning with their (awesome) children! ;)

Just a couple of weeks ago, we celebrated Ryan's 25th. Old man! I surprised him with an outing to go brew his own beer. We met a few of his friends there, and had a fun time learning about the process and tasting some yummy brew... plus, their VERY yummy rootbeer. My fav! We have to go back soon to bottle it up. And then we will be sure to have everyone over for some, because it makes 132 12-oz bottles!!!

Until next time!
