Fun in the Garden...AGAIN!

It still continues.  Today the kids came and Andrew decided that the Herb garden was his.  Well...Noah has done a ton of work in that space.  Andrew is the TV guy and could care less about being outside but today was different.  He was quite interested asking lots of questions and remembering lots of answers.  Tasted a who bunch of herbs.  Noah was a bit miffed with good reason about the turn of events concerning Andrews new interests...brothers!!!...but now Noah is interested in developing and working in his very own Butterfly garden.  It's the next space to the south of the herb garden.  So...today we worked on that garden.  Marigold...lettuce...okra and a few more plants planted from seeds a few weeks ago are up.  We transplanted zinnia, marigold and spider plants...made a path to the tomato plants and lined the path with bricks and will continue to plant more flowers.  The butterflies seem to really like the zinnia.  And we found a great spot for his very own camping chair.  And I am so grateful...it's raining.  Rain was predicted for all week and not a drop until tonight.  Slow and gentle.  It's great.  We've done a bit of watering.  We might even have a few more days of rain if we're lucky.  Tomorrow is a long rehearsal at church getting ready for our Sunday services where we will be singing Hydn's Harmony Mass with orchestra.  Woo...really fun and beautiful.  Mon. Doug has an eye appointment and Tues...I'm schlepping my neighbor Judy to the doc.  Busy, busy but the best is working in the garden.  We had a pair of BLUE birds fly through the garden this afternoon.  The first I have ever seen in our yard.  I really got excited and the kids saw them as well.  Ooooo...Really BLUE!!!!
