"Let me see.... After I finish the pickles in this jar, there's maybe 15 pickles in this jar. That should fill up another half hour."

It's really spring! We have seedlings started. M is helping keep a notebook so we can learn about seeds, plants and how they grow. He's already learned that the smaller seeds sprouted first. And that seedlings are nearly white when they emerge, but turn green within a matter of hours so they can start making food. All that and mom will have fresh kale in just a couple of months. Whoo Hooo!
