Saturday was a special day,

It's the day we did lots of yard work!

We weeded the yard and we planted some seeds

So we can have a beautiful gar-den!

Look at these delicious tomatoes our garden produced!

We turned them into bruschetta this afternoon.

Our kids are such good little workers, even in pajamas. They hate to get dressed.

We got lots of yardwork done on Saturday, and we have more to do this Saturday, of course. Pretty soon we're going to redo our front yard (it's very boring), but it hasn't been the season for replanting since we've been here. Neal and his mom used to work in the yard together, and I think he learned so much that way. She always had great intentions of having a wonderful kitchen garden, but there were always gophers pulling the plants under and people to take care of, so her garden never was quite what she wanted. When I first met Neal, I couldn't believe that he knew the name of every tree and flower we would see. I was so impressed. His knowledge will one day yield us an incredible yard, something like this:

But for now, we are proud of what we have and the plans Neal keeps concocting. Audrey and Parker love to help; on Saturday, they put rocks all around the border of the garden plot while I weeded the yard and Neal planted lettuce and broccoli! Yay for gardens and husbands who know what they're doing!
