Welcoming Spring

Spring is always an exciting time of year for the daycare as we watch everything turning green and make plans for the garden.  We have much more light and warm weather for playing outside than we did a month ago, and everyone has been enjoying that.  Today we pulled the big, round porch table out into the yard and ate lunch in the garden!

The strawberry starts that we planted last week are looking very happy with all the rain we've had, and the kids have been splashing up a rainstorm of their own in the puddles.  We'll be planting snap peas together in our raised bed very soon, and we have plans to sprout some beans in clear cups so we can watch roots growing. Our veggies that like warmer weather will be getting started inside, in the back window where we can see them grow, too.

We're taking things a little slow this week as we welcome our new friends to the daycare, but we're still enjoying our last big project in the quiet room.

That's all for now, but we're blowing the dust off this blog and we'll be keeping it updated much more regularly!
