Library Butterfly Art

After school on Tuesday, Grace took me and Jordan to the library to make butterflies with other kiddos. Even though you were supposed to be at least 5 to participate, they let me AND Jordan make butterflies. Mine is above and Jordan's is below.

Festival Fun

Last weekend, we went to a festival to support a local school. There was a great band and other fun. Jordan and I decorated cupcakes...

And dressed up for picture taking

Ate some Kettel Corn
And bumped into friends! And, also a friend from preschool.

Balloon time!

Garden Update

The garden is doing great in some areas and not so great in others. The Japanese eggplant from last year was doing SO well. We would have had at least 100 eggplants growing. But, then, the dreaded aphids arrived in the thousands. We decided to take out the eggplant and plant two new ones, but first we researched the best organic solution to get rid of them. GARLIC! You can use garlic spray or garlic dust. We chose the dust and so far, they haven't come back. The broccoli (above) is doing fantastic, but taking over the garden a bit. The cukes don't have enough room to thrive, but they are doing okay. Below is our raspberry bush that looks beautiful, but no raspberries yet.

And, the banana peppers are starting to grow. The habanero pepper plant has many flowers and will have habaneros just in time for some yummy jerk chicken barbecue this summer.

Van Gogh

Gigi learned about Van Gogh this month in school. She came home and wanted to draw sunflowers. This is one of the sunflowers she drew. Just love this!
