We thought it was going to be sunny today, but that didn't hold us down from getting closer to planting a garden. We pulled out the weeds and Rebecca took over on the heavy machinery. We are ready to plant when the weather gets warmer. What we did do is plant tomato plants in the hanging buckets because i have always wanted to try this. We were going to buy them from topsy turvy (you have seen the commercials), but we decided to make our own this year and try it out. 
Although they don't look beautiful, they are on the side of our house that no one looks at but the sun it hotly intense. We are hoping the tomatoes will do well there.Of course, Jacob took every precaution with his safety gear. Makes me think how unaware of safety I really am.
We put up four and may try to do another one later on. We will see how this works.
Not to hard to drill a large hole in the bucket and put the plant in.
Here is the garden area that we are going to try and grow something. Everyone has their own ideas, so there is some jockeying and compromising going on. We have decided on tomatoes, zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers, lettuce, and strawberries. I am sure the list will try and grow larger, but we aren't a working farm, so we have to stop somewhere.
Like always, the kids helped a bit by running by on their way to the slide or the trampoline. They had a great day of playing which always makes me feel good. I love to see them playing because by the end of the day, they are crawling to bed--nothing wrong with that.
Jonah and Noah didn't have enough going on today so they practiced for their band after a dinner of tacos and strawberry Margarita's. (virgin of course for the kids). They are going to "
travel around the world and make it big", says Jonah.
Noah on the drums. He was so intense. Anyway, we are tired, but have a lot to show for it today. Until tomorrow.
