May garden


Spring is here and we are spending time each day in the garden. Today we had a treat...a chickadee liked the colorful house we put up and started building a nest!
The little bird is perched on the hole.



It's holding some fur from Satinka, one of our horses.


Partially complete.


This bucket is full of rain water. We are using it to water the strawberry plants that Zach put in yesterday.



A little helper has much more success and satisfaction when tools that fit little hands are available. We found these, as well as all the others, at the mall (aka the dump).


Later in the season she will be coming back here for a delicious snack!

A child's garden is an important aspect in our yard. But we have child elements all over the garden, which is spread out throughout the yard. We placed a slide on this hill to provide a slower ride for the tiny ones. A big pot holds flowers, it will be more lush later in the season. The best part is "potman". Right now he is planted with pansies and Scout enjoys watering him. He will get new clothes as the summer progress's.
