After scattered showers this weekend, the garden continues to thrive. We have healthy tomatoes growing, butternut squash on a wild vine, serano peppers, still a nice bed of lettuce, and some very questionable eggplants (the plant, that is).

There is still a small area of that garden that needs to be tilled and planted so today I started seeds for pole beans (green beans), more bell peppers and a few herbs. Our herb bed has oregano, parsley, salad burnett, basil, mint and lemon balm but half of those are looking really pitiful. I REALLY want to have a couple large basil plants so I tried planting purple and green basil in planters on the porch.

Gotta go, Baby Brother is up from a nap!

EXQUISITE!

It was a truly glorious day as our pre-school group toured the Wildseed Farms onWednesday. Poppies, butterflies and smiles abounded in plenty. Oh the beauty of God's color wheel!

Blossoms and Buds

Our yard is bursting with life! The flowers are high, the weeds are higher but it really does look lovely. Here are two varieties of wildflower/ weeds that we think are nice...

And here's our first little broccoli...











...a bed of mixed lettuce...













...sugar snap peas...













...and peach buds growing right
outside the back door!

Up-update

Yikes! It has been way too long since I've updated my blog but now that we finally have internet service at home, this will be much easier. Also, things are really growing out in the garden so there will be lots of 'delicious' photos that I want to share soon.

Recent highlights for the family include: wonderful Easter celebrations, tilling and planting for summer crops, Michael take his first step, we're expecting #4, recent trip to ARCH (Houston) homeschooling conference and a yummy tour of the Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham.

Happy Birthday Rose- January 18th!!
