Garden Update

Well, our garden is growing! Honestly, I am just happy that everything didn't die. After we had our big "plant", we had about a week of torrential rains and storms so we weren't sure how much actually made it through. It seems that everything made it except a few cucumber and squash plants (which we re-planted last week). Granny blames this on a big ole dog footprint and another one beside it that says "Crocs". Not sure who she is trying to blame that on! What do you do? haha! Up until the other day I was thinking that this garden stuff was not really that hard. That is until we were at the garden "checking it out" and Granny hands me a hoe. I look at her and she says "I'm going to show you how to do this so you can show Michael. We've got to get all these weeds out of here." So, Michael has been working a lot of extra here lately. We are very thankful for business but I know that the last thing he wants to do is come home after working from sun u til sun down and me tell him Granny said he needs to hoe the garden....I'm assuming that's how you say it? I get to it and let me tell you, that is hard work!!! My shoulders, back and arms def. felt the burn! We got it done though! Another thing we have going is cherry trees. Between our house and Grannys, there are two cherry trees that have really grown and have begun to produce lots of cherries in the past few years. Granny gave Trever the job of checking the cherries early on and he has been faithful in checking that tree everyday! Cherry picking is one of the boys favorite things to do right now! Yesterday was the first day we picked enough ripe ones to make cobblers with. There is nothing like Granny's cherry cobbler to eat after supper! I love living in the country but right now we really just can't get enough of it! (Trever and Michael were at t-ball practice in case you are wondering why they are MIA)
