Evidence Seen and Unseen!

The scene you are witnessing is me taking a picture of my glass front door.  If you look carefully there is a "hand" which appears in the middle of the picture.  I had seen it for a while.  I don't know when it first appeared or HOW??? As Ty was over today and the heavy door was open, I could clearly see "the hand" and thought, who did that.  I said to Ty, "go put your hand over that".  He did, it fit like a glove.  I said to him, "Aha! That's who left that mark!"  He said, "I don't remember ever doing that!"  But the DNA was there and he couldn't deny it!

That Time of Year Again!

I have learned a lesson or two about getting garden plants.  First, that getting starts sometimes is MUCH better for us than just seeds.  Why, because in Highland, it's cold longer in the spring.  Sometimes we just get those babies popping up through the ground when the killer frost comes, and we start all over again.  With plants I seem to have better luck on that department.  Secondly, sometimes my seeds don't ever sprout.  I don't know why.  Once, twice, maybe a few more times I planted some seeds and Spence thought they were weeds sprouting and he cleaned them all up nicely...which is what he recently did with some iris starts I planted.  He thought it was a big weed or something.  I just can't win!

Today Tyson went with me and wanted to grow some plants.  So we went and he got strawberries and a lily plant.  We got on our gloves, dug and planted them nicely in pots.  Watered and then took them home.  He was so cute as we were talking and said that he was so happy that I was helping him learn a little about gardening.  He says he loves it.  He wants a corner of his family garden just for his own little crops.  He was proud as he could be as he took his plants home.  He is a keeper!

An Old Game Comes Out to Play!

Sometimes its fun to put the nintendos away and do some old-fashioned stuff!  The kids liked it, had fun and did something they hadn't seemed to have done before.  My problem?  I couldn't quite remember all the rules.  But it was easy to make 'em up as you go!

A Bumper Crop of Popcorn!

Yes, Logan has a plan for this year's garden!  Popcorn!  After popping the popcorn and finding some "old maids" he wanted to save them for the garden.  So, out in the hot August sun, watch out this summer!  There will be lots of poppin' going on out there!
