We took advantage of an unseasonably warm January day to get out and run (6.6 miles) but that wasn't enough. I can't stand to stay inside on days like today, especially when I know we could be frozen over in less than a week, so after taking all of the Christmas ornaments off of the tree, we went outside to fix the "forgotten-dog" angst that Connor took out on my little garden. Or should I say Daniel's garden.

| Pre deer netting last fall... |
I planted it in December of 2010 when I was nearly 5 months pregnant and quickly learned two things: 1 - bending over and kneeling for hours, hurts when pregnant and 2 - we needed deer netting to protect anything we wanted to grow from Connor. And that was when he was showered with attention as an only child.

| Spring flower bounty for my shower |
In the spring, the garden's flowers made an appearance at my baby shower in April. And then in late May, when I was past my due date and wanting to do as many squats as possible to coax out a stubborn baby, it became my weeding project...and possibly what set off my contractions (I went into labor that night).
Hopefully with the deer netting back in place and a new layer of mulch, the bulbs (or at least some of them) will make a re-appearance when Daniel might be old enough to stop and smell the flowers.
