The cats seem to enjoy their cat bed.  They've been stretching it from a circle to an oval.

My son has started building a miniature building.  These are his first few pieces of furniture.

Last day of school.
 

May 26, 2021

It's been very dry here lately so it was nice to have some rain again.  Now all the seeds we planted will grow.
 

May 25, 2021

We accidentally left an onion in the ground last fall.  It has quite a few blooms now.

The pool finished draining to a certain point; the rest had to be vacuumed and mopped out.  When we took the cover off, the water was clear but there was a lot of gunk on the bottom.  We finished cleaning it around dark and started to fill it with water.  Immediately, two tree frogs jump inside.

Most of the plants are in the gardens now.  We still have corn and beans to plant.
 

May 22, 2021

More planting- got some peppers planted.  We just plant a little each night while I decide what I am planting where.
 

May 21, 2021

We planted 14 rows of potatoes.  At least our rows are shorter than previous years since we have them pointing in the other direction.
 

May 20, 2021

We planted some of the tomatoes in the garden.
 

May 19, 2021

We planted some of the garden- the zucchini, cabbage, and broccoli.
 

May 17, 2021

We saw a fox across the road.  We don't see them too often.
 

May 17, 2021

Hopefully I'll be able to plant the garden soon.  My zucchini are getting a bit big for their little cell packs.

NASA sent up a rocket from Virginia today.  We were able to see it from 400+ miles away.  It was faint and looked a little bit like a comet for about 10 seconds.  It's near the center of the photo.  We were impressed we could see something so far away.

Something needed fixed on the tractor before he can use the rototiller.
 

May 14, 2021

The lower limbs on our pine tree were dying so we had to cut them.  Now it matches the tree across the road.

 

May 13, 2021

We planted some onions and lettuce in this area.  We're still getting frost some nights, but this spot is against the house and won't get as cold.  The evening sun heats up the brick, too, so it gets extra warm here.

The curly parsley survived the winter.  I did not know it was hardy enough to live through the cold.

My hummingbird feeder has been busy lately.

For mother's day I got a sign and a fern.

The maple is finally starting to get leaves.
 

May 6, 2021

We bought potato seed today.  We're not planting as much, but we bought more varieties.  This year we'll have two types of red, yukon gold, and russet.

Some blooms on the blueberry bushes.

My little greenhouse.
 

May 2, 2021

We hooked the disc to my tractor and I disced our gardens today.  This new patch still has lots of grass growing in it but hopefully this will help reduce the amount.

My husband got some of the ice box stripped.
