We’ve spent much of our weekend cleaning and doing a few projects at home. Last weekend we had a landscape designer come to our house to give us ideas of what we could do around the house. The ideas were perfect, but now it is up to us to execute the plan. After a trip to a nursery to start choosing plants, we came home, put Andrew down for a nap, and then borrowed his chalk to help us visualize the space we are working with.
This will more than likely take us a couple of years to complete, but we are looking forward to doing much of the work ourselves (maybe with the help of family???) and having some gardens that are unique. Later in the day, Andrew surprised us by demonstrating how a combine works by breaking up his cookie and having the combine “eat” the cookie.
He has expressed interest in being a farmer when he grows up…as well as a tractor. After the farming lessons, Andrew and I had spinach smoothies while we watched Pete dig up dandelions.
It makes me very happy to see him drink this AND ask for “more smoovie, peas”.
Both Friday and Saturday night looked something like this.
Now if only we had time to do the landscaping we’d be all set! May is a very busy month for us. Pete has trips to London and Australia and I’m heading to Wolf Ridge for a week with school. Soon enough summer will be here and we’ll have all the time in the world, right?!
