Remember When.......

This is one our favorite pictures of Massey. It was his first summer. We had a great time playing with him and the water hose. We would turn it off and on and he would look in amazement wondering where the water went.

How Does Your Garden Grow!

Here is the first jalapeno!

Move Over Kermit!

Our grandaughter pulls off "not easy being green" thing very well.
Move over Kermit the Frog!

Even the Little Ones Want to Help!

Aren't there such things as child labor laws!

Not only is she beautiful, she is strong enough to carry two buckets of water!

Or so it seems. It looks as though she is "fetching" water from the river. Not really. This is our grandaughter having a great time at the James River Association's annual lawn party in Richmond, Virginia. This is also the first time she has worn her new green dress.

This reminds me of when I was little and wanted to help my "papa" carry water from the pump from his house to the barn to water the horses, cows, and pigs. It was a long way to carry water and he did it with what appeared such ease even if he had to make multiple trips several times per day.

M & A, thanks for bringing back the memory.

Rooftop Garden Visitor

Found this butterfly resting on the chartreuse sweet potato vine this morning. A nice way to greet the day!
