Tending to eden...

Hey guy’s. It’s been a while. We have been so busy & so much has happened since I wrote last. Spring has sprung in the great state of Iowa. I have been having a blast discovering things in my yard. It is a whole different world living in the country. I love it. I have taken an interest in bird watching & turned my yard into a bird sanctuary. We have put out different feeders & thistle bags. I am totally amazed at how many birds come to the yard. I have a family of blue jays that just had some eggs hatch & they are right out side my kitchen window. It is great to stand there & drink your coffee & watch the blue jays feed the babies. I have a set of orioles that have taken a liking to the yard. They love the fresh oranges & grape jelly I put out. I walked out of the house last night & heard them signing in the tree & I was whistling back to them & Elicia sarcastically asked if I was the bird whisperer now. I replied no, I just love my birds.

Our yard has a fenced in garden that is about 25 x 50. I was going to put a few things in & it exploded. We ended up putting in about 40 tomato plants, 2 rows of carrots & radishes, 3 rows of onions, 50’ of peas, 30’ of lettuce, 25’ of beans, 7 straight eight cucumber hills, 4 pickling cucumber bushes & 8 hills of squash. It has been really cool watching our 5 cherry trees, 2 apple trees, grape vines, peach tree & rhubarb growing. I also discovered that what I thought was a third apple tree has turned out to be a pear tree. So as you can see I am quite busy tending to eden…

More to come soon
