Farmer Aiden!
We will make a farm-boy of him yet. He had the best time planting onion sets!
Nicole and I spent part of the morning getting the cool weather crops tucked in. And weeding the flower bed. The snow-peas and onions have to be ecstatic. We have a small bed of garlic (maybe too much garlic) that ensures no vampires will be any where NEAR this place.
"Sparkly"
She and Emma built an A-Frame type of pole-bean trellis, and we are going to put additional poles on the opposite side, to start the cucumbers up them.
(...for Summer Cucumbers and Onions...and Pickles..._)
Nicki's Mom, Nancy, stopped by and we all had coffee and chat and delicious Grilled Chicken Salad ala Nicole for Brunch and this
For Afters.
Lemon Ice Box Pie
Layer cake pan or pie tin with waxed paper.
Start with a thin layer of whipped cream or Cool whip...topped with a layer of (pre-made) lemon pudding...top that with a layer of graham crackers. Alternate these layers 3 times. Top with butter cream icing. Cover and let sit in refrigerator overnight. Chill 15 minutes in freezer before serving to make slicing easier.
Just wonderful! Spring Dessert.
We even had time to get a short walk in before the kids got off the bus.
What a perfect day!
Next week, we are working on layering her Compost Box...and re-purposing an old wooden screen door to hold herb pots in jute and climbing flowering vines.
I am fixing Brunch, bringing good coffee and making the dessert! And waiting to see if fresh wood ash really does help the morels thrive!
Hannah's Birthday was yesterday, as well. Hard to believe she is NINE already! She has a Grace American Girl Doll, now...and said she was having a Paris-Themed Party.
When Summer Break comes (soon) they are ALL coming over for 1:1 Grandma Rose Days!
Life is good!
