May has been a month that has been difficult to keep up with.
There has been something on the calendar every single day, and I’m ready for the lazy days of Summer… This is the last week of school, and I’m really excited about it. It will be great having the kids home, and less school activities to do too. Well, a little less, there is always housework that needs done around here.
Friday school was out, and Thade had his best buddy coming over for the day. The kids had an awesome time, and it was fun having a house full of kiddos.
We’ll have to plan a few more Summer play-dates soon.
One of my red lilies finally bloomed! It is so lovely. The other red lily looks like it will bloom soon. Sadly, my yellow ones didn’t grow back this year. I also had a few Hosta that didn’t come back either… Maybe I need to make a run to the greenhouse and fix this problem.
I love Spring. I am busy cleaning indoors and outdoors too. I also have a few plants going indoors and outdoors too.
I’m trying to regrow Celery. It is really easy to do, and grows quickly. The kids like studying the celery. Thade thinks it is pretty cool that it is so tall. I hope to plant it outside, and see if it grows even more.
I haven’t been keeping up with my weeding as much as I should. Mia doesn’t mind though, she loves to run around the yard.
We have been trimming the trees, and watching the busy Robins.
Today I cleaned up the side porch. It was a yucky, dirty job, but it really needed done.
I’ve only had a few strawberries. The birds got most of them, and them Mia did too. Who knew Chihuahua pups liked berries so much.
The snow peas are climbing.
They are sprouting some blossoms too. I can’t wait for fresh Snow Peas, they are tasty.
The Raspberries are coming in nicely too. Hopefully the birds will stay out of them.
Agnes and I got out this morning and watered, and tilled. I finally planted some Okra seed. I hope they grow, my family loves Okra.
Last night the family came up to visit, and attend Dylan’s preschool graduation. It was great to see everyone, and the evening was a lot of fun.
I can’t believe that my little guy is off to kindergarten in the Autumn. He really loved preschool, and he will miss his teachers dearly. Thank goodness he still has three days of school left, he was not ready to say good-bye to preschool.
