Bison Hair. Please Touch.

We celebrated Earth Day!

Tom Sawyer State Park had a small display of some Earth Day items...

So, the Vegetable/Flower Community Garden Project or FVCG is officially under way!

The once tiny community garden has expanded to 70-something 20x20 plots.

There's my baby...all fresh and new.

We were wondering how on earth the park was going to put up a fence for this football field garden.

Easy! Bring in a busload of troubled youth.

Tomatoes, peppers and a Marigold border. (The soil on the left is prepared for Green Beans)

Here's the big drawback.

See the green hose about...100+ feet away?

That's it for water right now. The hose reaches about 1/2 way to our plot. I'm going to inquire about the cost of adding a new line. I was already told they didn't have enough money this year...after the fence.

Oh...and working at a remote garden is a new challenge. My car looks like a gypsy caravan with wagons, dirt, tools, mulch, carts, water etc....

On the eve of turning 3, we watched Gaga play tennis at LTC. Her team sang Devin "Happy Birthday" and this was the reaction:

We explained to Dev about her birthday tomorrow. And, that we could do her favorite thing.

"I wanna go to the mall."

"I wanna do pirate ship, get a pretzel, ride the escalator, go to the Mickey store, throw money (in the fountain) and get a toy."

Hey...what else could a 3 year old want?
