Spring is Here!

What else says spring like baby birds and gardens growing? And we have both!

 Bailey's Birdhouse

For Bailey's birthday back in September she ask for a birdhouse, which when she got she promptly painted & then put in her tree. Then she waited AND waited AND waited for a bird to make it's nest. After a couple of months she decided that the hole must be too small, so she had Luke cut a bigger hole (that part at the top of the circle) just to make sure. Oh and the wire around it is holding it together after it fell. Anyways, after a couple more months she decided that the bird must not like the color and was about to get it down to re-paint when she looked in and saw a sparrow! She was ECSTATIC! What was even neater was that it laid 5 eggs and we now have baby birds to check on every day.

 

Our Garden

One of Luke's hobbies is gardening. This is our fifth year to have a garden and tenth year to grow vegetables. Here's some of what we have growing-

From the kid's garden- watermelon. 

Last year Luke built them their own raised bed and they get to pick what they plant. Also growing in their garden is lettuce and carrots.

kale

swiss chard

 spinach

squash

 cabbage

broccoli

green onions

strawberries

 sugar snap peas

We are loving this cooler spring and hoping it means a cooler summer, so that our garden survives.

Happy Spring!
