Well, like everyone, we have had ALOT going on in our lives. I have had roadshows, yw, teacher appreciation week, my parents here (YEAH!), John crazy busy at work, field trips, school testing, ballroom concerts, ballroom tryouts, choir concerts, preschool graduation, and well, just life. So, I haven't been blogging lately. My husband told me that my mother-in-law has been sorely disappointed in this because she really loves our cute little family and now that she is off serving in the Catfish Capitol of the world - we don't get to see her much...or at all.
So, I opened up my pictures folder and the first pictures that caught my eye are the ones I'm going to blog about.
When we moved into this wonderful home, there was a HUGE garden plot already set up and just begging for a garden. Last year it was just a haven for weeds. This year, John is bound and determined to make it productive.
The first thing we had to do was get rid of our two Christmas trees that we had tossed out there last December.
Well, John brought out the blow torch and poof! Up in flamed they went. It was kind fun. All the neighborhood kids came running out and one family in particular kept yelling, "That's illegal! That's illegal!"
Next we borrowed a rototiller and then came the furrows. Yep, even though you really wouldn't know it, John does come from farm folk and I guess furrows are very crucial to the planting process - who knew?
Now, even though both my parents and John's are going to read this, I'm gonna say it anyway. There is something pretty sexy about a man working with the earth. Wooowee babe - you are hot!
So far we have corn coming up. We have also planted beans, carrotts, watermelon and of course pumpkins. Can't wait til the fall!
