happy spring milwaukee! after the entire month of april being caught in a limbo of frost advisories and sunny skies, it's finally here! this weekend was beautiful! i spent yesterday volunteering at GROWING POWER and today was the first day of 2011 that it got above 75 degrees! i spent the day running errands to our coop and home depot with the windows down, enjoying the sunshine and most importantly... making happy birthday phone calls to a (newly relocated!) very good friend. also, my dad got a chance to set up the rain barrel we got my mom for her birthday last august. i snagged the barrel from lakefront brewery for $5! it used to house brown rice maltose and will now house rain water to be used for the backyard gardens... raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, tomatoes, rhubarb, and lots and lots of pretty flowers!
hurray for rain barrel installation!
and hurray for multi colored tomato cages!
today was also a good day to bring my worms up from the basement. i added some table scraps from a fruit salad i made, stirred 'em up and added some more friends. and yes, that is a frozen strawberry lemonade on the table ...from mcdonalds. don't judge... it's delicious.
