We expect so much of spring. And though it comes slowly, it always fills me with an optimism for spring cleaning, new projects and the like. We've been busy bees and recently got the chance to spend a weekend in Seattle visiting Natalie's darling parents. I'll post some photos soon. In the meantime here are some snapshots of our emerging spring in Eastern Washington. I've got great big plans for my own garden here--asparagus, strawberries, spinach, onions, herbs and definitely lavender. Any suggestions or tips?
