Carrot Crop.....................




The kids helped me plant these carrots, and they got to pull them too.

In fact, Kylie made us a carrot cake the next weekend they came to visit.

















I have to say that its pretty exciting to eat something you have grown with your own two hands.......









Unfortunately, neither Kurt nor Marc like this veggie. But, I get them all to myself, and I love them. After they are washed, you don't even have to peel them.

What the heck???????????





Faja wouldn't get near this thing, but Abby seems to adjust to it just fine.

What a wonderful way to get rid of that topcoat!












Can you tell that this German Shepherd is all Kurts'?

Debbie's Gardening..............




Today, I was spending time with our snap peas. Its our best crop. Nothing hurts this plant.

The more you pick em, the more they grow.


















We get so many, I have to freeze them for winter.

Who is watching who??????




If you look closely, there is a squirrel sitting on the branch.

















I cannot tell you how long Abby sat just like this staring up at that squirrel.

We could not stop laughing!

Always Working.................





Kurt is building a frame structure out of our own tree logs. He is either going to put a swing in there (of course, he will build it himself) or perhaps a hammock.

Either way, it will be amazing. It has a great view of the lighthouse.














Here, the cart comes in handy for schlepping the weeds to the gully.
