Local Happenings: Community Garden

I’m really excited about this new community project, and it’s within walking distance from my place. A local business has turned an empty lot into a very useful space, they’ve made a Community Garden.

It will be planted soon, and it will be a great way for our community to have access to delicious and healthy foods.

I can’t wait to see all of the beds planted with veggie plants all in a row.

What a fantastic addition to our community.

3 Home All The Time

I seriously can’t wait for school to be out this year! I’m like a little kid about it… We’ve made a countdown to the end of the school year on the calendar, and every day we cheer for one less day to go. I’ve missed having all of my kiddos home, they are in need of a break from the routine, me too.

I’m looking forward to day trips, lazy days, and hopefully the kiddos sleeping in past 7:00 a.m.

I also can’t wait for Fish Fry’s, BBQ’s, and special trips out for Ice Cream for the kiddos. Hurry up Summer!!!

What about you, what are you looking forward to as the school year is coming to an end?

Tiny Garden Life

The garden is finally starting to sprout, and I heard from the kiddos that they have  found a toad in the backyard. I hope he sticks around and helps out by keeping those icky bugs away from our little plants.

I just love the teeny-tiny broccoli. I’m trying so hard to not pick it, and see what it tastes like. Must resist!

The tiny Petunias are so sweet, and the bees have been buzzing all around them.

So far we have only had one single okra seed sprout, I really hope we see more soon.

I love these little bitty yellow blooms, such a cheery addition to the garden.

April’s Favorite Pics

The month of April flew by, and it seems like we are already in the middle of May. I’m growing anxious for the school year to be over, and grabbing some time with my kiddos during the lazy days of Summer. I’ve got a few favorite pictures to share from April, and my camera has already been busy this month.
