Signs of Spring

Now that it's spring time in Idaho we've been enjoying our yard a lot more. Caleb loves to explore outside and help me with my flowers.

Here's a picture of our Popcorn tree! I love the pink flowers. The ginormous bumblebee we found was an added bonus. :)

This is our funny Caterpillar tree. The caterpillar looking parts fall off of our tree when the leaves come and are fun to play with.

Caleb loves to help in the flower beds and knows to walk on the paths. We put bright mini pinwheels where new flowers and plants are coming back so he doesn't accidentally squish them. -He loves to water the flowers with a little red spray bottle. :)

This is our Bleeding Heart bush. Every year it comes back so beautifully. I love it and planted another one in our backyard this spring!

Geraniums are some of my all time favorite flowers. I found these gorgeous pink ones this year and am super excited to watch them grow.

Pansies and Snap Dragons from our local farmers market. I planted these Mothers Day weekend because I knew they were hearty and couldn't wait another minute for spring to come.

We planted these happy Daffodil bulbs last fall. I had always been a chicken when it came to bulb flowers, but not any more. Now I know, I can thin and plant bulbs with the best of them. :)

Our Plum tree.

One last shot of our crazy Popcorn tree. -Caleb looks so small in comparison, but has already grown up so much. We have already enjoyed discovering worms, butterflies and lady bugs. It's going to be a great summer. :)
