Greenish...

Happy Saint Patrick's Day...Did you wear green? Very important to the girls that we all wore something green or in their words "greenish."The weather was again beyond beautiful. I love opening my windows on my house, in the car, to hear and smell everything that means spring. My girlies were either great....Miss Kathryn, or throwing tantrums...Miss Paige and Miss Sydney, so I spent much of the day sending girls to their room. Then the real parenting began by actually making sure they stayed put until they had calmed down. Luckily they took turns on tantrums so one kid in their room at a time. Really growing plants is so much easier than say trying to grow three well adjusted people. I'll start saving for their therapy now!
This is the hard way to collect moss. Not so easy to "lift" off the brick.
Our adventure for today was collecting moss for Mr. Matt to use.
Paige is an expert moss collector. She did decide that she liked it when she found it, mom "picked it", and she put it the bucket. This little bucket was FULL when we finished.
We then took the moss back to the green house to start our new moss trays. It's a lot faster when you have large pieces to lay out. I like the look of all the small different pieces that we pull out of various spots around grounds which is much more labor intensive to tray up. If Mr. Matt wants moss Paige delivers.Paige had "special moss" to give to Miss Judy, Miss Toni and Miss Erica. Thoughtful isn't she?
Today was also the day of Hypertuffa instructions being loaded onto the TBG website.

I arrived home to find this in the back yard.....
Kate's long awaited book has ARRIVED! She's so much my girl, went right outside and started reading it. Preodered in January, released yesterday and thankfully here TODAY!!! As of 10pm she had 70 pages left out of 336. Can't blame her James Patterson is a great author.
These are wild rice seeds. Miss Paige lucked out when Mr. Matt had a few extra fall out of the package. They've been planted in our bog of a garden. It will be exciting to see if they germinate, even more exciting if they grow well!
