Besides the backyard being full of birds (I can hardly keep my feeders filled) -
- I got this charming package in the mail, winging its lovely way from far away England, from Wiltshire artist, Karen Davis -
She sells these gorgeous, hand painted hearts at her Etsy store. I am tickled pink (or in this case, turquoise?) to have this one!
- And I have *finally* gotten a couple of flats of seeds planted. I've only been trying to get to that all month! I still have a basket of packets of "early spring" seeds that need put into the ground ASAP - as it becomes less early-spring by the day. 
But, alas, that will have to wait for a bit. It is now spring break. My daughter is flying off on a school trip to England and Scotland tomorrow, and I was SO not invited to chaperon :-( - so I am winging my own way off to spend a few days with my folks, while my husband also heads out of town on business.
Flying for everyone! Happy spring.
(Maybe it will think about warming up a little by the time I get back).

Have a lovely time! I wish you *had* been able to go to England/Scotland...
So do I! There was a Tara-shaped gap on Monday when I took my other two bloggy friends to the woods.
As soon as I get some spare pennies I am going to be treating myself to some of Karens' work too, in fact I had my eye on that one...I take some comfort in it being with you :)
Have a nice break, your seeds might be up when you get back (ours are starting to show at last)
Where is she going in Scotland?
I love your little birds, very bright :D We only put food on the table once a day, if they eat it all thats it (little piggies :p)
Such nice pressies, and pretty flats of seeds, BF must do same or I will; it is such a spring imperative. And so not invited! probably suspected you would run off with your UK blogger friends. Happy Spring!
wow tara that was a lot in one little post! what a great package... love the heart, i've bookmarked her shop! and boy you are on it with gardening this year. we're still about 10 weeks out from outdoor planting. i'm hoping to start my seedlings in the next 2-3 weeks. sounds like your daughter will have a great trip!
Hey, you need a school trip over here too! We have a lovely cottage ready and waiting for you.
Sadly our garden is not as well organised or advanced as yours - must get seeds sorted soon....
Packets in the mail, wow, they make the day :-)

Lucky girl to have some of Karen's lovely work. I was the fortunate recipient of some of her greeting cards last week. They are beautiful.
And .... oh, how I wish I could have chaperoned your daughter's trip!!! My favourite places!
