Paul got our the tiller and now we have a new home for the garden. It is a 16x16 patch (he will enclose to keep the rabbits out) we are sharing with the neighbor! I am super excited, we are going to go out and pick out the seeds with the kids this weekend! They are thrilled to be planting things again! Lauren has her watermelon seeds ready to go (not sure how that will really work... but we will see)! On the planting list is; radishes, zucchini, kohlrabi, sweet peppers in every color, pumpkins, rhubarb, some sweet corn, and of course tomatoes and grade tomatoes!
So it was super funny, Mason played on the swing set for like all of 1 minute when he caught wind of Paul getting out the big green machine and off he went "to work"! Mason is a hands on kid. He flew back up the hill to get his rake and shovel to help!
So here he is "workin"-- note the tape measure, measuring the little post behind him, he was buildin'-- he must have said that 20 times, just like Bob!
Then he worked up a sweat - "I was sweatin' Mom, this buildin' is hard work" (Seriously that is a direct quote!)
And then had to go hang the shirt up in the tree, like Dad!
And then he was investigating the way back yard and found the creek flowing pretty good from all the rain, it was a really pretty setting, so Mom mode took over and started snapping pics!
And after all that of being outside for 4 hours you'd think he come in and fall fast asleep no problem at bedtime, but nope! He is my night owl!
