Thanks for stopping by. How ironic that our WW were so similar. It looks like we have many interests in common too. I'm excited to read more of your blog and learn more about your homeschooling philosophy.
Grgeous garden and fruits of your labor! How wonderful! I can't wait to get my own in and have that same feeling!
Hugs.. Amy
Your garden is coming along wonderfully!!!
Wow! What a prolific garden you have already!
I love the feet in the last pic. We have lots of dirty feet around here, too. :)
great garden and love the dirty feet, nothing says summer like barefeet:-)
I love the photo of your feet! Your garden is lovely and I liked your post about the boys learning to read their own way.
Are those my feet? :o) I thought I was the only one with black feet (giggle) those pictures look amazing and it's making me hungry, thanks a lot ((winks))
When I finally grow my own garden, I am definitely coming to you for advice!
Great garden! Must be a houseful of green thumbs.
I hope the birthday kid enjoys Spiderwick....my girls really can't put it down and it is the main topic of discussions these days.
Have a great Memorial Day!
-Lisa :)
Your garden looks incredibly awesome! Everything looks healthy and just ready to ripen up!
Congrats. :)
Oh, I love the feet picture too.
