Green Fingers...

We started our seeds a little later than usual this year, but they are growing happily anyway. Here are Katy and Darsie's garden plots (along the back fence). They each have wind chimes, so we built little teepees to hold the windchimes up. Their pumpkin vines (not planted from seed) are expecially happily taking over right now. The girls are hoping for a pumpkin by fall.

Here is our vegetable garden. We have corn, beans, carrots, green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet potatoes and lettuce planted. It is so fun to plant things and watch them grow and then eat the fruits of your labors!

I love summer flowers!! We added a flower bed along the back fence this year, and here is the view from my kitchen door now! I love to be able to see flowers from the house, without even having to go outside!

Katy planted the sunflower, and it just opened this weekend. Darsie also has one open and both have several more in various stages of development.

We forgot to prune our hydrangea last year and therefore have a monster this year, but it is such a beautimous blue monster that we are not really sorry at all!

My and Matt's favorite tree house - very comfy! If only we had trees in our yard! The girls have never been in a hammock before, so it was a bit comical as they had to figure out how to get in and out of one.
