We've splashed right into Spring. It's hard to believe that it's almost summer already. Our gardens are growing like crazy and so are the weeds. The girls and I spend a lot of time weeding. We just can't keep up. This is a picture of our herb garden. Our oregano and chives are planted in other locations. At the end of the season, I plan to transplant a little of both and add them to the new herb garden.
Our Peppers so far.... both green bell and jalapenos. Everyone loves the pepper jelly that Kevin
makes. Since taking these pictures, we've had a ton of rain. The plants are all so big now. We also planted a little strawberry patch this year. Hannah already ate the first red strawberry.
Avery loves rabbits and wants a pet rabbit so badly. We aren't ready to do that, however this wild rabbit loves are yard. He hangs around all the time. (he ate some of my lettuce plant but he's cute, so we will let him get away with it) It's amazing how close he will let us get to him. Avery loves it!!!!
A day at home, enjoying our yard, the sunshine and the flowers, and everything else the season has to offer.
We spent Memorial Day at Roger Williams Zoo in Providence RI. It was a lot of fun!!!! I think everyone else had the same idea though. We have never seen the zoo so crowded.
Hannah's favorite, the Giraffe.
This guy was quite a character. He entertained us for a while!
The girls enjoying themselves.
Every time we go to Roger Williams Zoo we take a picture with this dog.
It is a tradition that goes back to when I was a small child.
We have homeschool beach and park days once a week in the Spring and Summer. These pictures are from our last beach day. It was at Quaddick in Thompson CT.
Hannah and I recently enjoyed a day alone together. We went out to lunch and shopping.
This is Hannah at the Chinese restaurant having Chinese Tea for the first time.
Yesterday we went to an open-house at Fairview Dairy Farm in Woodstock. Mimi came with us and we all had a really good time. They gave us a tour of the barns, taught us about the cows and the dairy process and gave us free samples of farm fresh ice cream.
I had to take this picture, Avery did not enjoy the smell of the cow barn.
This is the nursery where they keep the baby cows.
This calf was only one day old. She was so adorable. We wanted to take her home.
Pictures from Mimi's house.
June has been so much fun so far. I hope the rest of the summer follows suit. We have so much to look forward to. Beautiful, hot weather, the pool, blueberry and strawberry picking, camping, birthday's and more!!! This is my favorite time of year.
