Did I mention I love spring, really really love it. Not too hot yet but everything is fresh green. No other season can beat that. I want to go camping and hiking and BBQ and sit in the garden that we don't have. Sitting on the balcony is not the same. Mornings and evenings are especially beautiful. Unfortunately, we are very strict with getting our child to bed which is currently way before sunset so we don't get to enjoy evenings outside often. We still dream of the evening walks we used to take, because we don't have a garden.
I started our balcony garden, put seeds for parsley, chive, radishes and spinach in those long planting pots. We need more soil now and more hooks to mount the pots on the balcony railing since I don't have space for the pots to stand on the balcony floor. Nor do they get much sun and rain there. Our local hardware store - th one we can walk to because it's not in those endg-of-town-malls - had only two hooks left though, sigh.
I also take an hour lunch every day to go for walks or cycle to that one park nearby which has meadows and woods. So nice. Can't get enough. Spring should last 6 months. The old neighbourhoods in Kitchener, those with tree-lined streets, large front yards and garages set-back past the house front (all contrary to the new neighbourhoods), are beautiful now too. Hope you enjoy the spring as well!
