Garden hopes. . .

I have always wanted a garden.  Last fall my hopes became a bit closer to reality when a friend graciously cleared trees from our yard to create a bigger space.  The space is nice and big and lots of fresh topsoil was put in place. 

This week we worked to get it ready for planting..

Fresh tilled dirt . . .

Life is boring if you’re a kid. Better go find a good friend to play with…

Do crawfish, suckers and frogs count as a “good catch”?

We sure had fun! At the end of the day, we had a memory you can’t take away, even if  we couldn’t take Mr. Crawfish home. Next time…
