I know everyone in the country isn't enjoy spring quite yet, but maybe these photos will bring hope to those of you who are still freezing. I love Alabama in the spring. It is like pleasant New England summers. Cool nights, warm days and fresh air blowing through the house. Ahhhh!
This is our home and our beautiful flowers. Photo booth didn't do the flowers justice. They are really very beautiful. (Yes, still without a camera. Note: Photo Booth flips the image, so the drive is actually on the left side of our home.)
Our garden. Isn't it the epitome of a bountiful garden? Okay, we haven't planted yet, but we have tilled it twice and added horse manure. Aren't you proud of me? We will plant cabbage, cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes, green beans, purple hull peas, cucumbers, butternut squash, yellow squash and maybe zucchini. What are your favorite veggies to grow? Any tips for me? I need all the help I can get.

PICKLES! or Jelly Beans! Those are my favorite!
Very funny Andy, but Abbie already beat you to the pickles comment. Last year when I asked her what she wanted to grow in the garden, she very seriously said, "Pickles!"
Your flowers look absolutely beautiful! I am going to start on our own garden this coming week. I have the spot picked out, but that's it. I'll have to get to work & post pictures too. Ideas: if you have old shoes or hair from hairbrushes (tie it to a stick) and put either of those around the garden to keep the 'human smell' nearby so that animals will leave it alone (if you have that sort of problem). It's an idea I was given for my garden this year, and I plan to try it (if it rains much, the 'human smell' will go away and you'll want to replace these items if it's working for you). Good luck!
