Seasons

Spring is done. I just pulled out the last of the bolted spinach to make room for seed potatoes (thank you, Ed!). The sweet peas are visible through the living room windows and I think we've about finished that harvest for the year (especially as we are going to be out of town for the next two weeks). I have the green beans coming up in front of the sweet peas. I should have started them a month earlier than I did. Oh well. I'm sure we'll still get a ton, as usual.
I've been doing a lot of purging, sorting, and consolidating in the house the last week. I got rid of a ton of boxes and junk and such. But I also came across these chalkboards my mother painted years ago. I never knew what I would use them for, but they were so pretty and my mom made them, so I kept them. Now my kids have a use for them. And I'm VERY glad there are two of them. :)





Thanks, Mom!

Talking more

Isa is talking and signing a lot more in the past few weeks. She and Leo both have been watching a lot more Signing Time videos and they're both very keen to use their signs. It's helping a little with her whining and screaming, she's just starting to understand when I ask her not to cry, but to sign.

Tagalong

We just found a tagalong bicycle for Leo at the annual Quail Hollow neighborhood garage sale event. We were actually looking for a dresser for Sharon, but couldn't find one. We lost one of Isa's yellow rain boots during the bike ride down there. Oh well. The tagalong ($30!) was a great find.

Leo loves it and keeps asking for more bike rides. :) Now I just need to get a basket for the front of my bike, as I have no storage for grocery trips.

Crow





Found a baby (fledgling) crow in my herb garden this afternoon.

We've been seeing it out on the front lawn over the last couple of days. I have no idea if a parent is caring for it. I put some water and meat out for it. I suppose the wildlife police will come tell me not to. :)
