Camping and Gardening

Well, Kyle came home and we went camping with the Passinetti Family. We had a great time even though I forgot many of the food items we all surrvived. The kids had a great time playing in the dirt and running around in the woods. The Passinetti children who are much older then mine had fun falling into and playing in the creek we camped by. It was fun to relax and enjoy God's beauty. My favorite part was the last day I was first up at 6am coudn't get back to sleep so I spent the next 1hour and 45 minutes reading the bible and spending time with the creator. Made the day start off with peace and most important Jesus. We came home and it was ooooooh so nice to sleep in my own bed.

Our garden has grown a great deal and I caught a Marmet. Many of my plants had been eaten. All of my spinich, callard, and raddish leaves were gone and some of my Kalarobi and green been leaves were eaten yesterday morning so I asked our neighbor Bill if he had any ideas on what to do. then we saw something move around between our garages so he let me barrow a trap then a few hours later I had what I thought was a LARGE squarl. Bill corrected me and low and behold we have a Marmet. Very happy to not have any more of my greens being eaten. Lots of exciting adventures here at the Klaue house. I did just spend 2 hours weeding and planting in the empty lot next to us. Bill has graciously allowed us to plant and use his land. I have Corn, Green beans, bell & hot peppers, okra, zuccini, honeydew, watermellon, cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, bib lettuce, romaine lettuce, and mixed greens.

That's all just the empty lot.... in our yard we have carrots, raddishes, green beans, purple green beans, black beans, hot & bell peppers, tomatoes, basil, kalarobi, purple onions, honey dew, watermellon, cantalope, straight neck squash, zuccini, crookneck squash, acorn squash, pumpkin, okra, celery. we should have a nice harvest this year! We are excited!

The kids are having a great time playing outside and enjoying the warm weather. Kyle is liking not driving in any snow while he is working and I am loving not being cooped up inside. I like that I can go for walks and take the kids to the play ground and not worry about if it is too icy or whatever all that winter stuff brings. Bring on the summer!
