The Post Where We Plant Our Ginormous Garden.

Before we begin, I must make it abundantly clear that I would be A-OK with buying all produce at the store.

Thank you.

We had a busy weekend.  Per usual.  First, David had to get 2 new pigs, because, have you met him?

Yeah.  So now we have 11 pigs.  Not really sure why we got 2 more, but I usually don’t know what is going on.

The 2 newbies could not figure out the electric fence.  It was sad and funny at the same time.  The pigs would hit the fence, squeal, and run to the other side, get electrocuted again, and so on.

One pig just froze and stared at the fence for about a half an hour.

Just trying to figure it out.

So.  We had to do the weeding and the rototilling and whatnot of the garden area.  As gardeners are wont to do.

ER.

Then, Handsome Dude helped David create stakes for the garden.

David put Handsome Dude and I in charge of putting the stakes in straight alone the center path.

We failed.

David had to come make it all better.  Then we planted our rows!

And ohmygoodness it is just too much.  I cannot bear to think of the weeding and harvesting and canning and the freezing.  It is a burden far too large for me to bear.

At one point, Little Dude went missing.  This is not an oddity.  He was supposed to be “helping.”  This is how I found him.

I have no words.

In other news, this is how Little Dude spent the day at school:

To be clear, I did not SEND him to school like that.

He has no idea how it happened.  Which is odd, because you would think someone would remember an event that sliced their pants.  But whatever.

After school, the boys were playing outside.  I love watching the boys play outside.  It always involves shovels, wagons, squirt guns, cats, and hay.  It is very intriguing.  At one point, Handsome Dude came in for a refreshing beverage and threw some hand picked flowers down on the counter.

He said not a word.  He just threw them down, chugged his drink, and headed back out.

I choose to believe the flowers are a gesture of his love and admiration for me.

Happy Thursday!
