Home!!!!

Ahhh!!!! I'm home finally!!! With Jerry & Ben as guests and... Rose greeted us!

Jerry & Ben brought some gifts for Rose... she is a Harry Potter fan and so they brought a Marauder's Map mug... and a Gryffindor notebook (for school) and a Gryffindor folder (for school)! Rose squealed with excitement! There's a video... have to find it.

And some maps of Minnesota attractions... and a super duper bag for shopping! Those are for us by the way... not for Rose!

Whew... and there's the garden... I've missed the garden... and Jerry and Ben want to see what we are growing. Let's go!

Alright... do we have a plan or...

"I'm looking for beez" said Jerry... "There are lotz of beez on this flower!" (It's a leek flower)

"Beez mean there might be honey hives nearby!"

Ben was more interested in the herbs and veggies... our basil is coming along but is struggling a bit it seems...

"Ooohh..." said Ben... "A greenhouse!!!"

"With cucumbers!!"

And celery (grown from celery bunch stubs)

"And tomatoes - I love tomatoes... so many things to cook with them!"

Oh wow... we even have some BIG ones!!

"And there are beez everywhere!" yelled Jerry - this one is on a sweetpea... but it is a bumble bee... not a honey bee...

"So many flowers... so many bees!"

And... the back 40 has some blackberries taking over the world... mmmm.... blackberries!

 And we'll leave the bears to get settled!
