It is a beautiful day today, so we decided to get out and enjoy the great outdoors!
The boys love playing with his bubble wand. They usually take turns holding the wand and making bubbles. Today after Carson first turn with the wand he was content to chase all the bubbles Andrew made. So nice to be out again!
I love these purple wild flowers that pop up in the wooded areas surrounding our house this time of year!
Here is a shade garden Chad developed last year in the wooded area behind our house. Hostas are one of my favorite plants. One of few plants I can actually pick out and name. My mom, who loves to garden and knows so many different plants, would be so dissappointed! :) I enjoy gardening but just don't know the names of the plants.
We are enjoying working in our first garden. I won't deny it, Chad has done most of the work. He built the raised bed; filled it with compost, vermiculite and pete moss; planted all the seeds and plants. I have pulled some weeds and water it - that is it. But I will be the one to prepare most of the vegetables from the garden. Below we have a couple of different types of lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, & basil...(and Carson & I's shadows)
and potatoes, cauliflower, peppers, onions, carrots and sugar snap peas.
Can't wait to eat from the garden. Perhaps a salad for two very soon!

The garden looks great! Quite impressive - I'm just trying to keep the houseplants alive! :)
So did you mean perhaps a salad or two very soon, or when you say a salad for two; you mean you are eating for two. :) Just trying to help you out with rumors.
I am jeolous of yoru garden we have zip this year because we had to replant the whole yard...I love garden food! Glad the boys are feeling better.
No no no. I mean a salad for Chad & I, since we can't get the boys to eat salads. We have had a couple salads now. It felt very rewarding to just go out and pick some lettuce and spinach to eat!! But thanks for trying to spread rumors! :)
That is too bad that you guys won't be able to have a garden this year. In years past did you grow all the tomatoes you needed for salsa? Probably not, since I remember you made a lot!
:) I figured that's not what you meant, but you know how child geared people like to assume sometimes... :)
Actually we have never had much luck with a garden at our place...the clay dirt is terrible. I am hoping to do a raised bed eventually when our yard is back together. There is a little stand in town though that I can get a bushel of tomatoes for like $16; not bad really; I juice with them too.
Have a good rest of the week!
