Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!  Our day started with Mass, the my Hubby made me my favorite omelet for breakfast!  Omelet with spinach, tomato, and feta cheese.  Mmmmmmm!   We had a leisurely morning and early afternoon and then we headed over to our neighbor's house for some manual labor and a cook out.  Our yard is very hilly and shady so our neighbor offered us a small plot next to her garden so we could garden this year too!  She is so wonderful.  We are thinking about getting a few chickens and will try to reciprocate with some delicious eggs.

So we all went down and dug out our plot and planted some veggies.  I am not the best gardener but I really like the idea and I really want to be good at it.  That counts for something, right?  :)  Turns out that Miss Dramatic is excellent at digging and planting!  She was a huge help in getting our garden started.

We planted lettuce, spinach, zucchini, red peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes (3 kinds) and squash.  I am doing container strawberries and herbs on our front steps.  We used to get all of our veggies from a local CSA but they are no longer farming and this is much cheaper and closer to home.  What a great summer project for the kids too!
