Hi y'all!
Gardening in Virginia has been such a treat for Holly. She has done this month what most farmers in Maine wish they could do, plant in April. Because of a generous garden season, Holly planted peas on St. Patrick's Day along with other cold crops, and today planted tomatoes and peppers. For the first time she is experimenting with a longer growing tomato plant which should stagger her harvest. Though the garden is not as big as her New Jersey plantation, this one is close to the house and will be much easier to tend.
We also installed the boy's swingset - Roger insisted on purchasing new lag screws for safety reasons. Slowly our house is looking like a home. With more things for the kids to do around the house, we hope that sibling rivalry and bickering will reduce. (wishful thinking).
Alicia informed us this week that she had her baby - a little 7 pound, 3 ounce girl named Lorelai. Both mother and daughter survived the ordeal well.
Amy is now part of a national Migraine study to determine the effectiveness of a migraine relief medication that combines the use of iboprophen and imatrex. We'll let you know how she does in the process. Additionally, she is taking an online course through Liberty and plans to take two other courses in the summer months. Her goal is to have most of her core courses completed by the time she graduates from high school.
We enjoy the times we spend with Holly's parents. They live less than an hour away. We'll enjoy the closeness to the lake where we can both swim, fish and kayak. However there are some very nice boat launches right near us in Altavista.
Well, for those who long to plant their gardens but can't, take courage; spring is here and your turn will come. Until then, bloom where you're planted.

I don't know about you but here in Philly we just came through a heat wave-in the 90's for two days-in April! We sent for seeds from Campbells and Dave has not been able to get them to sprout.
