We had an absolutely beautiful day--sunny skies and warm temps.  John and I were up and out the door nice and early for our morning walk.  The warmer overnight temps have brought out the leaves on the trees--we have green everywhere now.

Right after breakfast John patched the wall in the bathroom in preparation for installing the tile.  We have to let it dry overnight and will start that project tomorrow.


The Sears store in Bemidji notified us that our order came in, so we decided to pick it up and, while we were out and about, get some more plants and flowers for the garden.  We stopped at Burger King for some lunch and then made several stops looking for more seed potatoes.  We finally found some at a nursery several miles from home.


John looked at the ten day forecast and decided it was safe to plant the rest of the garden.  He put in his tomato, pepper, cabbage plants, more potatoes and carrots.  The whole garden is in--now hopefully there won't be any more frost.  As you can see from the photos below, everything in our yard is blooming.

This evening we went up to the school for the spring band concert.  Josh plays trombone and Rachel, the flute, in the fifth grade band.  Josh also played in the sixth grade band.  The kids did a great job.
