May Catchup

Hello! We are still waiting on our travel dates… we’re hoping to travel to meet our boys in June.

Now, for a BOATLOAD of photos from the month of May. And a beautiful, wonderful, spring May it has been!

Firstly – yummy baked doughnuts. Texture lighter than a soft pretzel and the flavor totally different.

Garden pictures!!! Our yard is lush and beautiful this time of year. I love it! And I don’t mind the weekly lawn mowing necessary… Brian and I both like mowing the lawn since it’s not so huge that it wears you out.

We planted tomatoes and peppers the very end of April:

The “big” garden beds the end of April.

The big garden beds a week ago:

Back yard, left:

Pea sprouts (and a few other things like radishes and lettuce that I hope to harvest before the peas grow up and cover them)

The peas are in one of the the “small” garden beds by the house. Brian built an awesome pea trellis for them!

Look what other beautiful things my husband has done to our yard! (and the poor guy never seems to have enough time… maybe because he has so many wonderful things going on!?)
Do you see the stone walkway?

Here’s a better picture of the back bit… to where we dream squash and cucumbers will someday grow. (This is the part of gardening season when we still have hopes and dreams!) (those big leaves are rhubarb)

Grapes’re growin’

Another cool thing Brian built… that is working great for the four chickens!

We let them out to play and graze when we’re out playing. They are such chickens, though, they stay very close to their coop and run back in when we try to catch them. (That’s a good thing, really!)

Here’s Anna making “Chicken Salad.” It’s a salad for the chickens. Complete with grass, clover, weeds… worms and centipedes.

Mmmmmm

More pictures tomorrow!
