Play Date at Our Place

Bre and the kids came to play at our house this afternoon. We hid rocks and they were quick to find them.  

Gideon - 3 

Bella - 4 

Annie - 16 months

Bre is due in November...about 5 months? 

 

Arielle Turns 23

 Arielle and Benny dropped by this afternoon. Today's is Arielle's 23rd birthday. 

We had an impromptu celebration. 

Uncle Nolan and Benny 

Krista, Nolan, Alex, Arielle, Benny 

One of the rocks Stacia and I painted was for the new Baby S. 

We planted this rock for Benny to find. It says "Bachan loves Benny."

Park Day

Stacia & Krista

Go, Benny!

 

Study, Walks and Seeds

The restaurants are still closed to dining in and so Stacia and I went through the drive up window of our favorite cafe. We took our food up to a trailhead, had study in the car, and then got a walk in too. 

We continue to make do with any light we can find our our seedlings....they are everywhere...but they are growing. 

Benny's Letter

Benny has been painstakingly working on a letter to G Dog (Dad). 

When I visited, he was SURE he was hidden! LOL 

 

Another Day in the Garden

The hens are laying well. 

Stacia and I painted a bunch of rocks. 

Found a bird's nest on the ground. We are trying to protect it until they hatch. 

Our make-shift row covers....the sides from the greenhouse which blew apart. 

Woohoo! Another garden bed set in place. 

I so appreciate all the muscle and help in leveling ground, sifting soil, making beds....

Spreading carpet... LOL 

Burning weeds...didn't really work. 

Such sweet rest after a hard day of work. 

 Growing well under the plastic. 

 

EVERYONE works!

 Gardening is dirty work - and EVERYONE got involved today.  It sounds so easy to make a few garden beds...to turn a horse pasture into a garden...but our soil is clay like, full of rocks...

We have been busy sifting dirt. 

Even Grandpa is involved in this project. 

Yay - the stuff under the plastic is growing...

Another bed full of sifted dirt. 

Benny has a unique style of work! 

Benny, Nolan, Alex, Michael 

This boy loves working with Papa.

Benny - 2 1/2 years old

 

See the carpet and the black plastic....anything which may work in our quest to repress weeds. 

Another stump dispatched. 

Stacia made us breakfast for dinner.
