Wade and I have been quite busy in the yard, as has been God, doing all the growing of plants and such. Here's a peek...
Here is the arbor Wade built unbeknownst to me while the boys and I were in Washington.
And here's how it looks now that it's up! It's not finished yet though. It still needs four more support posts, some lattice and then some plants to climb on it.
Wade and his dad working in the dirt...
And suddenly a fence! This was another one of Wade's surprise projects while he was here all alone for a week.
Felt a little artistic one night and the moon lent itself to my fancy.
The strawberries are ripening on the vine, and the birds are enjoying them immensely -- but not for long...
... thanks to Levi who built a scarecrow to save the berries! Go Levi!
Isaac also joined in the scarecrow building fun, so now our yard should be well-defended.
The corn is standing up amazingly straight after having been blown down a few times, and is growing "hair" according to the boys.
I think the National Ladybug Covention Chairbugs decided to hold this year's event in our garden. I can't really complain since they do eat the bad bugs.
Cherry tomatoes on the vine (c'mon babies, ripen, ripen, ripen!).
Okay, the package of seeds I bought said "Pumpkins" on it. This, however, does not look like a pumpkin. What's with the yellow?
Wade picked this bouquet of wildflowers for me from along the roadside... ain't he sweet?

This post shows everything that makes "summer!" I love it! I drove by "your" house in Lynden the other day and wished you were there!
