Dumpster #2...

IS GONE! Bring on dumpster number 3! We didn't get the numbers on number 2 as far as weight because Daniel was too busy getting reprimanded by the nice gentleman that we are getting the containers from. He was not pleased with the way the wire was put into the container! OOPS! We think we will fill this one and then probably take a break from the metal collection so that we can focus on some of the other projects!

TIRES, TIRES, TIRES!!!

We finally got rid of the majority of the tires...at least of the ones that we know of. We also took another load to the dump....so if you were planning on exercising on the rusted out exercise bike that had been sitting outside for who knows how long, you may need to find an alternate form of exercise!

While we were away...

SKUNKS moved in...right next to the house! Shadow reminds us of this everytime we give here a kiss on the nose. She got sprayed almost 2 weeks ago and has had multiple baths, but still stinks. The internet says there are two types of dogs: those that learn from their experience and those that don't! Shadow better learn! Daniel thought he would light the skunks home on fire and then shoot it as it came out...the great white hunter got nothing as the skunk was not home during the invasion!

As the Garden Grows

7/25/09 The garden is growing like crazy, the blooms have changed to small tomatoes, and the rain has been coming down in buckets this last week. The plants survived a hail storm with minimal damage, but now I'm hoping the uncountable amount of tomatoes won't split because of the amount of rain! I spent most of last Saturday pulling weeds and getting the area cleaned up. I had hoed the sides of the garden and grandpa wanted to know what I was going to plant! I had to laugh because I have more than enough to keep up with as it is!

Our first garden at the farm! I was supposed to get 30 tomato plants but accidently got 120!

We, Dan and I, planted the garden over Memorial Day weekend. It's growing like crazy and we have lots of green tomatoes. Looks like I'll be at the farmers market or on a corner sometime soon!
