Ah Ha...

This is the little fart that has been eating my tomoto plants.

As we were watering the garden Grant noticed it's tracks. Then the little stinker came back for seconds. Luckily we were outside when he returned and hopefully we scared him away. But just to make sure we sprayed all our plants with garlic water. That ought to do the trick. If not, I guess we will bring out the big guns! And by big guns I mean deer repelent. Don't worry I wouldn't shoot it. At least not until deer season! :)

Gardening...

I love to garden. Or at least I am learning to love it! My plants are coming in nicely and the and the weather is finally cooperating.
The only problem I am having is the stinking animals. I have a skunk, a racoon, a couple thousand cats, a couple rogue dogs, a coyote, a few field mice, and a possible deer or two. I have sprayed my plants with garlic water, and soap water, but it isn't working as a deterant for what ever animal is nibbeling in my tomato leaves. If you know a miracle cure for keeping the wildlife out of my garden I would love to hear it! I want my garden to produce nice, juicy, plump veggies, and my furry little friends are making it hard for me!!!

Garden's, and Grass, and Chickens, Oh my...

We have been a busy little family. Since April we have...

Planted grass...

Planted a garden...
AND...

We bought chickens.

Disclaimer...these are not our chickens. We have bought our chicken's but they have not arrived yet, but hopefully they should be here this Wednesday or Thursday.

It's been an adventure, but it's been fun! We are very excited to have a grass (FINALLY). The boys aren't very excited about the garden. Mostly because we turned it over to them to weed, water, and tend. However, they are excited for the chickens. I am too. We have meat chickens and egg layers. I am not sure what we are thinking! We will see how well it works!

What's wrong with this picture?

I don't know why I even try?

As American as apple pie...

I know, I post a lot about food. What can I say? I LOVE TO COOK!!! So with that being said, I present my newest culinary adventure. Apple pie with a lattice top! Beautiful isn't it! It was a joint effort really. Between me and Marissa, I think we make the worlds best apple pie!!! And we don't even live in the same state. How's that for culinary genius's?
