Correction: Gavin and Haley have gotten some seedlings started.
I do love watering, putting them in the sun and taking care of them. I don't sing to my plants...or they will surely die.
What the kids have started: Marigolds, Shasta daisies, peppermint, peppers, some flower mix I got in an easter egg.
What was given to me: The big plant, I adopted this from my sister. The chives are from my step mom - thanks mom :) and the yellow flowers are from Gavin. Not sure where he found these, but a BIG apology to our neighbors if he happened to wander into your yard.
THE PLAN:
Did I mention I'm not a planner either? Something else I'm working on. So, the "plan" is to put together some raised beds, and start a garden that way. From what I know, most people use railroad ties, but my awesome lineman of a husband brought me home crossarms from work instead :)
Here is Adam retrieving the crossarms for me
...Just kidding. That really is him, but it's an old pic.
So now I just need to get the beds ready, and transfer my seedlings when they're ready!
Remember the pine cone bird feeders the kids made? My husband said he saw a squirrel hanging upside down from one of them, having himself a feast the other day. And here's what's left of our bird feeders:
That's funny about the bird feeders. I really hope the garden goes well. I think it takes a lot of time and motivation. (both of which I convince myself I do not have). I know I am the keeper of the home, but Brandon has such a LOVE for gardening. I have been blessed!

I have been so busy with work I haven't had time to check your blog. But i just updated myself and I'm loving it! You are doing so great with the homeschooling! Gosh, someday I'm going to fly my kids to you for a week or two so they can get some good teaching ;) I am so happy to see that you and Adam are doing well! I miss him SO much and I wish so badly that I could meet you and the kids in person! I absolutely adored the post about Gavin understanding Jesus dying for us. What a sweetie, I cried when I read it.
