Well, it's finally happened.

So it seemed like every day I had off for the last month it would rain and I couln't start my garden. Then there was the weekend in Vegas that set it back another week. Finally last week and this week the weather has been great, so I pulled out the old John Deere plow. After a couple of runs with the plow and ox the ground was turned over in the back forty.

In the front too.

Then after several trips to the dumpster and a few passes with the Jonh Deere and disk the ground was ready to go. My new potaoes finally got planted Saturday evening.

Here are the onions growing so straiaght and tall after just one week. It feels good to be getting it in and fun to watch it grow. You gotta love it! Plus I have good equipment to make it happen.

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas

It took me awhile to get this up. A couple of weeks ago Marie had a basketball tournament in Vegas. We called the kids and whoever could make it spent the weekend in Vegas (unfortunately Marie's team lost when we got there so there was just one game) but that gave us more time to play.

Bad picture of the ice sculptors

but just goes to show, despite the advertisment, "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" sometimes it can be a family memory!!! Thanks everyone it was a great weekend; love you all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Sorry about this being a week late; had some trouble with the internet and with me being home, but wanted to give Jeffery a happy birthday wish. So here he is at the Hospital
