Sunday Afternoon
Yesterday ended up being a really nice day. James was gone longer than we had thought. He brought Josh with him because Josh has not seen much of Wisconsin yet and he loves to golf.
Three men that talk too much means a very long day of golf. Then they stopped for pizza so James could have Josh try "real pizza". This is something people in Racine always do to people that are not from there. Everyone HAS to try pizza at Infusino's. LOL He brought some home with him too.
When he got home it was around 3pm and he wanted to pack up all the garage sale stuff but we got side tracked. We have been piling up sticks in the fire pit but it has been raining everyday. So he wanted to burn them up since it was nice out. As we started to go through the yard deciding on where we wanted to plant things we picked more sticks. Then we ended up just sitting around the fire and roasting marshmallows. I asked if I should start dinner and they decided to just roast hot dogs instead.
As it got later we all went in for showers and then watched a movie. James just bought Golden Compass. It seemed like a good movie but I think I only caught a tiny bit of it because the kids could not sit still and stop talking. LOL
They are all excited about it getting warmer outside and want to plan out all the things that they could do. James wants to set up the tent next Saturday and camp in the back yard. I have tried to convince them to wait a week. James has to do all the tilling on Sunday and he might be very sore after sleeping in a tent all night. I also thing they should wait until we have a fence up or they may end up with the stray cats bothering them all night.
I think we decided on putting the garden about 4 feet past the patio. It will be still mostly to the side of the yard and we need to be able to get between the patio and garden with a lawn mower. From what James was showing me he wanted it will end up bigger than I had thought. I am excited and worried. We have some boards that we had planned on putting around it but they might not be enough now that I see how big it will be. We do have chicken wire in the basement and we have two rows of falling down chicken wire at the field so we might just rip out some of those poles and use them to hold up chicken wire around the garden.
The tomato and broccoli seeds we planted ahead of time do not look the greatest so I do not know what will live. My cat seems to really like eating broccoli. LOL
James has already bought some seeds so we already have....sunflowers, wildflower mix, peas, watermelon, acorn squash, corn, and cucumber. I am going to start a list of what else he has to get. He will definitely have to get some hot peppers for me. LOL
I am also thinking of making or buying planter boxes for under the windows of the kids playhouse. I think we will put most of the flowers by the playhouse. Autumn loves flowers. James buys her flowers more than he does for me. LOL
