Hi Burnt Toasties!
I am SO HAPPY to be shifting into spring mode. We spent yesterday starting seeds for the garden (more on what I’m most excited to plant this year below!) and if the rain holds off, I’m hoping to get some beds cleared out today. Seeing little green buds and shoots coming up turns me into Peak Garden Mom, hollering at my children to come admire the bud of a lilac. (They obvs deeply and reverently appreciate this! Every time!)
I hope your Sunday is similarly spring-feeling, but even if it isn’t —scroll on for some good reads and treats.
