What a beautiful, gorgeous, sunny day. I went to the grocery store after dropping the kids at school and came home inspired to get busy with our "farm". We spent the morning playing with the peat pellets, planting dill seeds in them, studying our seeds and their growing seasons and made a plan for where to plant everything. It was overwhelming. I hope we can do this.
I went to get Bella and after we were home, spent some time in the garden plot, shoveling and weeding. That ivy is from hell. Seriously.
I enjoyed going with Brennan to the feed and garden store last week and thought maybe the kids would like seeing the baby chicks there, so after Harrison came home, I took the three youngest there. They thought the chicks were cute. Carter and Rosalind both wanted a peacock feather, so I bought them each one. I bought more peat pellets.
We found a fun local ice cream store that sells soft serve ice cream in a myriad of flavors, including one of my weird favorites, black licorice. Carter, Roz and I had cones; Harrison wanted Dairy Queen so we went there after I dropped the other two at the park by the house. He ordered a blizzard and I read the Nickel and played the crossword puzzle. Afterward we drove home, stopping by the park first when we saw Brennan's car parked there. Daddy had seen us drop the kids there and drive away, and decided to play with them.
Hubby had a soccer meeting all evening.
