Outdoors!

The weather here in Texas has been mild lately, so we really have been enjoying the time to be outside before the heat is oppressive. Our garden has taken off, we've been enjoying tomatoes and cucumbers this week. We have green beans that should be ready soon as well as an assortment of peppers. Our watermelon and okra have a ways to go, but we are looking forward to enjoying them as well. I meant to get a picture of Sunshine with her sunflowers before they were taller than she is, but as you can see below they beat me! They are blooming now, so I need to take a picture of them and get it posted. On of the first places she goes when we are outside is her tomato plants. I think she would sit out there all day and eat tomatoes is I let her.

Looking for tomatoes.
We gave her a sandbox for her birthday. She really loves to play in it...and I can get some gardening done while she is occupied!
Last week we brought home 11, day- old chicks. They are growing fast and doing great! Hopefully they will all be laying this fall (minus the rooster) and we will be able to offer more eggs to our Bryan/College Station friends.

I think I would join her sitting amongst the tomato plants enjoying them straight off the vines...she is growing up so fast. Have a good weekend...we got rain overnight...I wish I could send some to Texas!!
