#1 Never expect things to be easy.

#2 Leaving Katelynn or Abigail alone invites disaster.

#3 Never give up, never surrender.

#4 Even though life is what you make of it,there is only so much you can do with finite resources.

#5 You are only as sick as you let yourself believe.

#6 Just because you can do something, does not mean you should agree to do it. (Jed's new work motto) :-)

Come to my Garden. . .

For one of our summer projects we decided we wanted to plant a garden but of course we couldn't just plant in the space already behind our house. This is the starting space and Katie and Abbie out ready to help us.
So first we pulled all the weeds and then Jed and I lugged the heavy rail road ties and set them in place then filled them with "bought dirt".
Katie wanted to plant carrots and so for quite a while every plant was "carrots". We planted green peppers, tomatoes, green beans, onions, 2 types of squash, zucchini, a pumpkin, potatoes, corn and of course carrots.
This is the boxes today. Looking pretty good-- I can see a green pepper, 3 tomatoes and 4 zucchini. Yea for us!
