50/365 - (5/7/2009) - Fire Ants

Today I was weeding the garden and Rachel helped, she pulled about three pieces of grass. She even got the roots. Well she ran back to the shed and got her shovel and wanted to dig or plant more seeds. I asked where does she want to plant more seeds and she stepped right into a fire ant bed. They must have sprung up since the rain. This is the first bed I have had since I have lived here. I have to go and buy some ant killer tomorrow and run'em off.

49/365 (5/6/2009) - Elephant Ear

Finally - Here is the Elephant Ear I have been waiting for. This one is going to be huge. It is the perfect spot right next to the house near the water faucet that leaks a little when I water. It gets morning sun. More pictures to come.

48/365 (5/5/2009) - Athletic Banquet

Rachel went to Nana's because we had our sports banquet. Everyone talked me into writing my speech and when I read it to her it was horrible. It was embarrassing. So I did what I did last year just started talking. Jackie said it was much better. I was not really that nerves. I guess this concludes this school year of sports.

47/365 (5/4/2009) - Tomato

I went to check on the garden today and I found two tomatoes. They are about the size of marbles. Rachel had to run out and check it. She wanted to eat them like that, she can't wait.

46/365 - (5/3/2009) - Rachel's black eyes

I planted black eye peas too early and only 2 sprouted. So I replanted, or should I say Rachel replanted them. I made the holes and told her to put 2 beans in each hole. No problem because I can go back and check them as we cover them up. Rachel was on a misson and I was pulling weeds. When I looked back to check on her she was just about done and she covered them up as she went. So I had no idea if she got the seeds in the holes. Well she did a great job because they sprouted.

45/365 - (5/2/2009) - Lazy Day

Lazy day, today it rained most of the day. Rain always makes me want to take it easy. I love to open the window during the rain. Doug and Amber also came over and we played Nertz until 2:00, this also contributed to me being lazy today.

44/365 - 4

4 Weeks of school left!!!! Our district is meeting on Sunday to talk about us being closed due to Swine Flu. As far as I know we don't have any confirmed cases in Jack county, just a couple of possible ones. The administration said we might be closed for two weeks and we probably would not have to make it up. I say lets stay home.
