Karen's Green Thumb Come To Life

During the last few weeks, Karen has been planting flowers, and starting her gardening. Actually, she started in December planting her Tulip bulbs, because they have to be planted in cold weather.







Today, she finished planting her Earth Boxes, which is our vegetable garden. She planted tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, and still has one more box of something to plant. This year, we'll use the fence to help the tomato plants climb. These boxes really do well, and we have lots of vegetables every year. That's good, because we like tomatoes and cucumbers. And best of all, Hallie doesn't bother them! She also planted a few more flowers out by the front porch to make the house look even better!

Shannon, and her favorite past time

She didn't want me to take this picture, but this was very typical of Shannon's afternoon activities, in front of the TV, with some kind of food on a plate. I even tried to trick her by going around through the kitchen, but she informed me she wasn't "born yesterday". Good thing she was finished with her food!
