Garden!

We spent last weekend digging and sifting dirt in our back yard, to put in a second raised bed for our garden. Vi really likes the digging part - she was a BIG help, moving dirt from one pile to the other and back! Now, the first thing every morning she says, "Outside? Dirt?" Here's what we'll plant:

Carrots
Pole beans
Corn
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Zucchini
Squash
Sunflowers
Basil
Thyme
Cilantro
Parsley

I can't wait for summer!!!

We also went to the Audubon in Falmouth, and saw a tom turkey fanning the flames of looooove. He was handsome, and he knew it. Very cool.

On Sunday, we went to Wolfe's Neck Farm in Freeport, with Grammy and Papou. We saw baby sheep - little lambs, just a few days old. Also present: cows, chickens, goats, roosters, baby chickens, and some strange bird which Dan insists is a Guinea hen. I'll have to look it up. We had a great time!

Cilantro is a very good idea. I'll add that to our list.
