A beautiful garden lunch

We ate lunch with Papa and Milly in their garden to celebrate Tyler and Milly's birthdays. What a nice day!

Our first baby-proofing project

Thank goodness Grammy and Roger were here to help with this project. Tyler and I took a CPR class one night, came home, and they had finished the entire foam assembly while we were out. We finished the covering the next morning. Now, Border will be able to toddle by the fireplace without hurting himself.

Two garden beds...up and growing!

Tyler put up the second raised bed garden last weekend and so I got to transplanting from the first garden where I had overplanted. Unfortunately, the squash and melons did not like being transplanted and began to wilt within minutes. That was Monday....these are pics from today. As you can see the plants are perking up a bit. Hopefully we didn't lose any.

Playing with my activity table

Its a.....GIRL, GIRL, GIRL, GIRL, GIRL, GIRL!

Our chicks finally arrived! They are so cute! We got a Black Star (the black one), a Rhode Island Red (the red one), a Buff Laced Polish (kind of taller whitish yellow), Speckles Sussex (brownish with detail on its back), Araucana/Americana (chipmunk looking), and a Buff Orpington (yellow stereotypical looking chick).

First garden pics

The plants are much bigger now....these pics were taken 5/9. I'll try to take some more tomorrow, but for now.... Corn, 3 or 4 kinds of squash, cucumber, orange flesh melon, beans, peas, watermelon, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant......the chickens come tomorrow!

Soakin' up the rays!....."What's up Ladies?"
