…what I have been doing lately.

Exploring nature with my kids

Found this little guy wandering around the squishy part of the yard.

Working on my vegetable garden

These are green bean plants. We have also planted tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peas, bell peppers, and some herbs. Oh, and SmallFry wanted me to tell you that he planted sunflowers and zinnias.

Trying to get the yard work done – when it stops raining for a minute or two.

The kids decided that mowing the lawn wasn’t that much fun. It has rained so much that it is difficult to keep it cut.

Enjoying my Mother’s Day flower.

The kids picked out one to fit in my rooster planter.

Celebrating my husband’s birthday

The kids gave him a Star Trek party complete with a cake they decorated.

But what dad really asked for was Strawberry Shortcake. We compromised just a bit.

And enjoying the other blooms from around my yard.

Clematis on the wishing well.

Lilies that bloomed for my anniversary.

I have been doing a bit of knitting to but that I will save for another post.
