May happenings.

 You know how the saying goes, "Boys and their toys."  Well, Matthew sold his fourwheeler for a dirt bike.  I'm not a big fan but he seems to be loving ripping up the back yard and getting some air on those tires.  He did invest in a helmet and only burned his leg twice from the hot muffler!





The garden is giving us delicious radishes and lettuce!



Poor Ginger girl is in the play house because Arie just don't let her alone.  Lunch looks something like this these days!  Fresh radishes, carrots, homegrown lettuce sandwich!



Homegrown lettuce is one of my all time garden favorites!!!!  I sit down and just munch on it!  


Austin is loving his ballgame nights!  The Flames are doing a great job and having a good season so far!


We are in the final stretch with school activities and the other day I went to Matthews Spring program and the next day I attended Ashlyn and then Austins.  All three with different program times but I made it to each one!  So good!

Arie ... we have a German Shepherd Puppy at our house.  Jer and Das bought her when she was only a few weeks old and she lives here until they buy their own home.  They would love to purchase some land and a home this summer!  Arie is a fun dog and Hadassah comes here every single day to hang out with her!  Jer comes each morning to feed her.  They are dedicated to training this puppy well!  We love her here but Ginger is still becoming friends.  Arie is a pup with lots of energy.  She just wants to play with Ginger but Ginger is twelve years old and wants nothing to do with this pup that already much bigger than she is!




We've had a chilly start to May so when the first warmer day arrived, the kids were all about it!  Hunter and Adrian got off of school here the other day and the kids set up the sprinkler and slipped on the trampoline with a bottle of soap.  We are ready for warm, summer days!



We celebrated my birthday!  Everyone is living a busy life and we decided to walk through our little town and grab some Oola Bowls for dinner!  I hope we do this a few times this summer because I love our town, the Oola bowls were delicious and The Corner Coffee Shop was buzzing with customers and outdoor singing!  Such a good vibe in town!


The garden is my happy place!  Mike did a lot of work this spring with resetting the railroad ties around the beds and making them deeper.  I love it!  The lettuce is ready to harvest!  The cauliflower and broccoli have heads!  We have a few strawberries!  The fruit trees are looking really good!  So many peaches on them!!!!  



We did have a cold two nights that I covered the tender plants.  This part of gardening isn't fun because I was nervous my plants would get too cold.  We were OK.



May seems to always be packed full!  My calendar has something on it almost every single day.  We are all ready to slow down a little and have some lazy summer days.  The count down on the school days has begun!
