Butterflies

Catching Butterflies

Leo obviously gets his patience from Daddy. He's been outside 1/2 the morning and he finally caught a butterfly! Then he said Lorelei can have it for her birthday.

*We did let the butterfly go, after they said their goodbyes.

There was a little time to play Pirates too!

Preparing the Garden

We had our usual Saturday Pancake breakfast with Nana, then I was able to get in a 4.5 mile run in without any kids. Both kids wore their newest overalls from Grandma Betty.

Lulu and dad worked on getting the mower running so that I could start preparing the garden. They took a few breaks for a little bit of water.

Here is the garden as of yesterday afternoon. I pulled up all the black paper, and The Gardener* ran the tiller down one row before the weld on the handles of the tiller broke. We need a little post work done, and of course some more tilling...but we are well underway and Nana has offered to co-garden with us.

Lulu & Leo spent the entire beautiful Saturday outside all day, with the exception of a nap. They spent it sitting on the mower steering.

New chicks! We have only gotten 7 new chicks this year, in 2 batches. They are well and thriving.
