This spring my kids have noticed we have our very own yard snake. This little Eastern garter snake seems to live under the stumps in our yard. It peeks its little head out from beneath the stumps to see what we are doing when we are near the area, but not “too close.”

Spring is blooming all around us. As we have been walking around with the kids we like to teach them the names of some of the flowers we walk past. Somethings like Sweet Williams are really just common garden flowers, but they hold special childhood memories for me. They always make me think of my mom. We have some Common Sage that we planted last year as an annual, but wintered over and is a beautiful bush.
