First Garden "Fruits"




We are SOOO excited about our little garden! Jeremy has done a GREAT job taking care of it! Nevermind that broccoli is really hard to grow, we got one delicious head to eat for dinner. I have never seen such green broccoli - it tasted amazing too! By now, we've had plenty of cucumbers and green beans are almost ready! WOOOHOOO!

Garden Update

We have been working really hard on our garden. This is a picture from about a month ago. I assure you it looks nothing like this anymore - our yellow squash and zuchinni plants are HUGE! We made pesto with our own basil a few weeks ago - it was delicious eaten with cucumbers - from our garden too!
Jeremy and I are really passionate about eating local food, so we are trying get Lily excited about it too! I brought home corn (grown nearby) and here is Jeremy teaching her how to shuck!

A Day in the Life of a Lily

Hi Everybody, my mom wants to post a bunch of random pictures, so I am going to narrate them and tell you what my days usually look like. After I wake up (anytime b/w 6:30 and 7:30) and I eat breakfast, I usually play with my toys for a little bit. I still like to read with my mom and dad, but I am too busy recently to pick up books and read by myself often. I love climbing in and out of my rocking chair and pushing it around the whole house. I also like to stand up in it, but I'm not supposed to.Sometimes friends come to visit us, like my "aunt" Sarah! She was in town and I got to play with her this week! It was so good to see her.
My mom has been letting me help with the dishes recently. Mostly, I like to splash water on everything within reach.
My current passion is doors. I love opening and closing them frequently and trying to operate the knobs. When I want one open, I say "Kna-Knock".

Our neighbor got some chickens recently, and I love them!! We can hear the rooster crow in our apartment and every time he does, I get really excited. We also have planted a garden in our backyard and my mom and dad are so excited about it. I really want to walk around in it, but they tell me to be careful of the "babies". I am confused at how the plants are babies, but I know not to get near them.

Every morning, my mom and I go water the babies. I really want to help, but I am only allowed to stick my hand in the water...
....and sometimes my face too.
I really like watching all the animals that are out and about this spring - especially the phoebes that are nesting under our deck!

I usually help my mom go get the mail every day and then I like to help carry it back. Sometimes I throw it too.
The real fun begins when my dad gets home. I like to try to put on his clothes and I talk about him all day long.I love being naked right...and riding my tractor. I must be an East TN girl!
I love playing in the bathtub before I go to bed, always. I am even starting to put my face in the water.

Well, thats all the pictures for now. Ba-Bye.
