Back Yard Work

It was time to do some work in the backyard - Max was VERY proud of her HUGE weed. When it first started growing we thought a bird had dropped a sunflower seed (last year a squirrel dropped a peanut and it started to grow). It was time to pull most of the plants out of the garden and get it cleaned up. The HOT spell we had pretty much killed off my flowers and a lot of the veggies.

We had an abundance of carrots and Devin and Desirae were good little carrot pullers. After Max cut the tops off we had to clean them and that turned into a group project. We had carrots for dinner and they were very tasty (a bit much for all of us - we will have carrots for days).

Devin and Desirae helped pull seeds for the Marigolds so hopefully I will be able to plant the seeds next year and not have to go buy plants.

After the yard work, playing in the pools was the name of the game for the remained of the day (not to worry - lots of 45 sunscreen). Also, not to worry - Desirae is NOT trying to drown Devin! Devin is practicing how long he can hold his breath under the water.

We are having a good time.
