We went to Paul Bunyan's Animal Land over the weekend. They had a lot of baby animals, and a huge deer enclosure where you can feed and pet deer. They also have this exhibit- a spaniel who lives in the same cage as a spotted leopard! They apparently have been friends since birth and sleep together.


This fawn was very friendly- it ended up licking my camera!


Our tomatoes. They are starting to turn yellow. I need to get a cage to prop them, that little wooden stake isn't enough.


My pumpkins are beginning to bud! I hope that they have enough time before frost sets in again to grow and mature. We'll see. These are Jack-be-Little pumpkins.


I love the color my irises are- it's this vivid orangey red. So pretty!

Spring!

The girls planted tomato plants a few weeks ago and they are finally beginning to really come up. I can't wait until they can plant them outside- and I really can't wait to be able to pick tomatos!

I know it's too early to really get my hopes up that we've had our last snow, but today was sunny and warm. We cleaned up all the trash that had been embeded in the snow over the winter and I began mapping out where I'd like to expand our garden.

I'd like to share this picture of a house across the street- look at how much snow we still have!
