I love it when spring comes and you finally get to plant and see new growth and new blooms! I usually have cilantro in my herb garden, and have been slowly adding a new herb each year.

She took a great nap every day and had fun playing in the garden, watering plants, feeding the cat, and looking at birds’ nests. Sam took a good nap …

The only time she got upset was when …

Samantha has not taken an afternoon nap for me since Wednesday, March 24. …Yep… If you’re counting, that’s 2 weeks. It might have been longer than that, but I know at least since that day.
