The temperatures here in Boston may still only be in the 40’s °F, but you know what?  It’s above freezing.

You know you live in cold country when it’s barely warm enough to go outside coat-free, and Home Depot is handing out free snow cones outside their store.

In lieu of Earth Day today, we headed over to our local home improvement store and picked up a few fruit and vegetable starter plants.  My daughter had a ball scooping dirt with her miniature gardening tools, and then dumping it into pots and planters.  Of course, the highlight was sprinkling water over our new sprouts with her pink watering can.

Personally, I can hardly wait to get a taste of some of these strawberries… on top of something frosted, or iced.

Happy Earth Day !
