It wasn't raining that day, but O was prepared anyway.
As you can see our back yard is still the source of lots of fun. Right now, the boys can pick peas, strawberries, lettuce and herbs back there, and they are eying the green raspberries, which look like they'll be plentiful this year after a good layer of chicken compost this spring.
Every year, we go to Mother E*arth G*ardens and buy a bag of a couple of thousand lady bugs. They are beneficial in that they eat aphids and some other bugs that would otherwise eat our vegetables since we don't spray. We let a few hundred out at a time for about a week, and keep them in the fridge in between releases. For the third year now, the boys have thoroughly enjoyed this ritual. I'm thinking that next year, I'll have to have the cousins over to see it too.
Having Auntie Mea*gan over for dinner. While we were in Holland, we learned that Auntie Mea*gan is engaged to Ph*il! Then, a day later, and from the other side of the family, we learned that my cousin is engaged too.
And a the end of the day, the dirt and popsicle juice just wash right off...
