As promised - the captions to all the photos below
Saturday:
Pap and hijo taking out a bush on the side of my parents home. they worked on this while Mam and I attended a class at church- hosted by this lady. Then Mam and I headed to the garden center to pick up veggies for the garden.
After getting our plants, I took Mam and Pap to dinner at Cracker B.arrel. Hijo and Pap had a rousing game of checkers which ended in a temper tantrum by an adult. No further comment on that from me, but Pap amd Mam missed ice cream becuase I was done being in a drama session again.
Sunday: Mother's Day in the US
Mam came over after church- Pap was resting. We had some play time on the back porch- actually Mam and hijo had play time while I worked in the garden and listened to the fun.
Mam and hijo played some hide-n-seek, which I eventually joined in on. Hijo seems to think that he is skinny enough to hide behind the clothes line (he is a funny little boy). We discovered that hiding behind the japanese maple tree is perfect for watching most of the yard.
We checked out the strawberries that growing- hijo really wants them NOW!!!!
The gardens- strawberries, potatoes, onions, radishes, carrots, letttuce, swiss chard, snap peas, and corn at this point. Corn is on the far end.
I grilled steaks and cooked corn for dinner- delicious!!!!!! We had enough steak for me to have lunches this week too.
Monday:
Finally, I could plant the summer veggies. Saturday and Sunday nights the temperatures got down to freezing, so the plants spent the nights on my dinning room table. Monday I had to get everything planted at lunch before the rain moved in. We are supposed to get rain for the rest of the week.
Hijo's garden- 2 tomatoes and 2 cucumbers!!! Right up on the patio so that hijo can eat them straight from the vine. he has cherry tomatoes- his favorite.
The pepper plants in- 2 rows in the front. We have 4 sweet peppers- green and yellow. We also have 4 hot peppers - this is my first year with hot peppers. I have been told the longer they are on the vine, they mellow, so we are going for as long as possible on the vine. I will need to fine some reciepes for them.
Here is the lettuce, radishes, carrots and swiss chard bed. things are coming up- I might get a few things this season becuase I should have planted 3-4 weeks earlier then I actually did.
Monday evening:
The rain stayed away, so knowing that the rain was coming for the rest of the week, I took hijo to park.
Hijo fell asleep on the way to the park- too precious.
But he woke up to have fun at the park before heading over to Mam and Pap's house while I went to class at church.
So that is our Mother's Day weekend.
we hope you had a great Mother's day.
Love and hugs,
Momma
