Tough 'lil carrots

I worked in my yard today for the first time this spring & look what I found growing in my garden!  Tough little carrots who survived the winter!  Yes, the biggest is about the size of my thumb but they're carrots!  I thought they were duds when nothing grew from the seeds I planted last fall.  Apparently these carrots don't want to be rushed.  I can identify with that.  They'll grow when they want to grow--when they're good & ready.  I haven't eaten them yet, so hopefully they taste good.  :)  


I was feeling a bit disheartened about planting this spring since my garden hadn't been too successful last year but now I'm inspired again.  Way to go, 'lil carrots!  :)

I'm on my way to Colorado this evening for our high school ski trip.  No skiing for me, just hanging in the lodge, sipping hot chocolate & reading some good books.  Sounds like a pretty awesome week huh? I'm pumped about it!  Happy Spring Break!
