I put out a garden today. It's huge, and it's only a 1/3 of the size of the garden that is actually there. (Chad only tilled up that much and we still have a ton....) The jury is out whether we will use the other end for pumpkins, watermelons, and cucumbers. I'm hoping we do...but I am already completely exhausted and S.O.R.E.! That's not good. I can't imagine what my back, legs, and arms are going to feel like in the morning.
Chad started tilling at 10 AM. I joined him after worship practice and a trip to K-Town to get groceries and some other gardening/outdoor supplies at Lowe's. At 9:30, we sat down to eat a quick dinner, if THAT tells you anything....The kids helped (I use the term loosely, but they did pretty good for their ages) while Gabriel watched. Of course, one trip to the dollar store landed them with new water squirt guns, so we took some time for that. How I love squirting them with the hose on full blast....Needless to say, we were all FILTHY when we came in.
Chad and Luke are now off catfishing while the others are pretty much passed out in their beds. I think it took all of 5 seconds to get them asleep tonight. Speaking of passing out...Shh....do you hear that? It's my bed calling...'night.

We planted our first garden over the weekend. It's very small, but we're excited about it. We'll be even more excited if the stuff actually grows. ;)
