First night with no fire in the wood stove
First mosquito (booo!)
First time sitting on the porch rubbing the dogs' bellies to watch the sun go down
First furball groomed off of Millie's shoulders
First strands of undercoat coming out of the dogs
First night temperatures don't drop below freezing at night
First time going out without hat/gloves
First seedlings:

You have green thumbs since you were little, it was amazing your avacado seed and others all grew so well. How I wish you can turn Myard into a vegetable patch
Seedlings look happy but leggy - can you get them to a stronger light source? They need to spend their energy growing leaves instead of stems to reach for the light. Also dunno if you eat lots of fish, but start saving the guts/heads/bones to stick in the bottom of your planting hole. Works wonders but your planting hole must be deep so critters won't dig up the buried goodies. Also what do you do with the bunny's old straw and poo? It makes fantastic mulch for your plants - tons of nutrients and the straw keeps the roots at an even temp. Mix that in with your planting soil too.
Also you should be able to plant sugar snap peas and sweet pea flowers straight into the ground right now, yes? They'll take temps down to light frost.
All good ideas... thanks! I do use bunny raisins as fertilizer. Unfortunately, the ground is still frozen, so planing anything is out of the question. Still waiting for it to thaw. I might do raised beds this year if I get far enough with other projects. :)
