Our Garden Gnome

Our little garden is flourishing. So far we've harvested about 12 snow peas and 1 tiny carrot. Mackenzie is my best helper out there. She'll water, weed, and pet the corn, because you know, corn has to be petted to make it grow.

A Night in the Frog Pond

Tonight was the kindergarten play, "Once Upon a Lily Pad." Very cute and it was a huge success. Christian was a snake and he handled it well. Much better than the end of summer play for the YMCA last year. How nice he's growing up!

The Birds' New Home

Our love birds are so happy in their new aviary that I feel guilty for having them in their indoor cage for so long. I hear them first thing in the morning, eager to be part of the outside world.

California Spring?

I'm not complaining, but it's raining today. Maybe not the best day because we moved the birds to their outside home yesterday, and I worry about them being too exposed. But the cloudy skies are beautiful and the air smells fresh. Everything is green and I love the rain. I wouldn't be sad if we have a cooler, wetter summer, but that's probably too much to hope for.
