Garden Update

Our garden is coming along nicely. The up side to having such a rainy spring/summer is that we really haven't needed to water it much on our own. The downside though... some damage has taken toil on the plants. We thought it would be last after this weeks storm but luckly it is still going pretty strong.

You can see in the pictures all the pine cones and needles that the storm blew down. We have a huge pine tree outside our living room window that produces a lot of debris. Also small piles of hail that collected on the outside edge.
Kevin and I have actually enjoyed spending time in the little front yard patch weeding and checking the progress. Good thing, because the weekly storms seem to leave it a little trashed sometimes. Moose and the neighbor cats have enjoyed a lot of the cilantro that I was trying to grow. We have been able to make a couple things with it as well. The zinnas and wildflowers are now producing some flowers too! Still waiting on the carrots, broccoli, and tomatoes however.

Random Life Events



I feel so behind in this blog thing... lots has been going on here and we are enjoying our Colorado Summer.
We have had a lot of rain storms and tornado warnings lately. Has been an unusual spring and summer. Here are some pictures:

Last weekend we enjoyed a family camping trip (Kevin's family). We traveled three hours south of Denver to La Vista Campground. It was Moose's first trip and he had so much fun


So much more to say and so little time. Hopefully I can post some garden pictures soon, it is coming along quite nicely!
