Sandbox and Garden (Written By Kenny)

On Tuesday we decided to finish off our sand box building project and took the truck in to town to fill up the bed with sand. I was tickled to find that the whole Ton of Sand was going to cost only 9 dollars. Much cheaper and easier than opening up bags of sand. Never mind the fact that I don't think our truck was meant to hold a whole ton of sand and was riding really low, it was a smooth project and Shiloh got to see a real "Trac Tooor" load sand into our truck right in front of his eyes. It was probably his favorite part.















At first he seemed a little unsure about what to do with this new place to play














but, before long he was filling up his bin and bucket and was not ready to leave when it was bed time.

















Here are some current garden pictures. We have pretty much everything planted and growing now. I keep sizing up our corn with corn farmers around. They got theirs in a couple weeks before we did, but we're not far behind.
















Potato flowers, onion buds and the woods















Some of the squash plants














Pickling Cucumbers.



















More Garden



I just took off the wall of waters from the tomato plants. We have tomatoes! Although small and green.




This one is now a few weeks past, and the pea plants are now catching up to Brittani in height and are filled with peas. They are One of Shiloh's favorite snacks (3rd only to picking his own Mulberries #2 and Blueberries #1) He loves to have you peel open the pod and he likes to pick them out and eat them one by one.



These two pics are about a month old, but here is one of the woods with the trail.



Here is one of spring from our porch.
