gardening and such...


We officially own land! 
(well...technically it's the hospital's, but we dug it so it's is ours for now)

We finally started a garden- something we wanted to do last year but never got to it,  and the kids were very excited to go dig in the dirt with dad. He bought them their own little shovel and Zanna worked by his side for about 2 hours straight.  James didn't quite stay-the-course but loved his frog boots and shows everyone his new shovel.
We are going to plant tomatoes, squash, cucumber, peppers, carrots, herbs and some other things--can't remember right now--but it is going to be good. Our neighbor brought us a lot of fresh veggies from her little plot last year and they were so yummy so hopefully we'll have the same success.

Zanna is getting a head start with the gardening thing and planted some sunflower seeds at school.  It was very dry 2 days ago and I thought it was going to die, but I add some water and the next day we had these two beautiful sunflower plants- we did a little sunflower dance to show our excitement :)
