Cousins, Creatures, and a Cold Frame...


Today, Mammaw came to visit.  She brought lots of fun with her.  Yummy snacks, fun toys (like play-dough) and the most fun of all--the cousins!!!!  Jared played on the little picnic table on the porch with the play-dough for at least 3 hours!  He LOVED it.  And best of all, it was great therapy for his hand muscles.  Love it when therapy can be FUN!  I think through the course of the day, nearly all the kids stopped by the picnic table and played with him for a few minutes at a time.  The cute little creature in the picture was Lauren's creation.


A picnic lunch of ham, mac & cheese, and canteloupe rated a thumbs up from the guys!  Jake puts MUSTARD on his mac & cheese!  Weirdo!  (just kidding, Jake!)  Look at this cute trio!  MaKenzie loves it when the cousins come to visit.


We actually DID plant our seeds today!  It appears we will have a garden, after all.  Goodness!  We haven't had a garden in over 10 years.  I can't wait to have all those fresh veggies!   


John Wesley built this awesome cold frame completely out of "rescued" materials, which I love.  Not only is this very useful, it was completely FREE!  The window on the top actually can crank open, which will be handy as the weather changes.  His next project is building my raised beds so we can put the plants out once they're ready!  That John Wesley's a handy guy to have around, he's got all kinds of skills!
