Homestead Update

Since we have moved into our new house, there is always something to do. In fact, at any given time, there are always at least 5 things to do. That being said, we don't have time to do much except what needs to be done. It's a triage system. We don't always do what we want to do, we do what we need to do. It is mid-June and we just managed to get our garden in. I've already learned so much. I love playing in the dirt and doing things in the yard, which means that the things that need to be done in the house (like unpacking) are put on the back burner. 

Anyway, here are a few pictures from the last month in Michigan. 

Tilling up the garden.

Taking a break from working in the garden to fly some superhero kites.

Teaching Rommy that she isn't allowed in the garden... we're still working on it. 

Giant mosquito bite of doom.

Dirt on the face... dirt everywhere!

The finished product!

There is a phrase that I use sparingly. When I say it, I really mean it. "good-looking". This is one of those times when I will use it. That is some good-looking soil. 

And here are some random, fun pictures!

And here is a crazy Rommy story. So, Rommy likes to chase squirrels. She can tree them well enough, but she usually loses them. Honestly, she is pretty dumb about it. Anyway, here is a picture of me next to a tree (note the dirty knees) to give you a height comparison and then a video of Rommy attempting to chase a squirrel up a tree.
