Funny Pictures

Last week I was taking pictures outside, and I decided to try the setting that stills moving objects. So I called Ginger and as she ran in front of me I took a picture. This is how they turned out.

Working on our Raised Garden

Putting the soil in.

We started with thirty bags of soil but in the end we put in 41!

The pile is getting smaller. :)

Almost half way!

Dad nailed some temporary netting over part of the garden so Ellen and I could push the big chunks through it to break them up.

Now all of the soil is in! We are going to try to plant lettuce, green beans, broccoli, carrots, onions, and maybe some others things too!

Spring Flowers

I have really been enjoying all of the lovely flowers.

Our New Raised Garden

This is our new raised garden that Dad made (with Ellen's help). We put it in front of the driveway in what we call the "rock garden". It is mostly gravel and gets plenty of sun. It usually has daisies and weeds growing in it. We are really looking forward to planting a raised garden.

The finished project! Just need to put some dirt in and then we will be ready to plant.

Crocheted Rings

These are some little rings I made for fun. I used thin doily thread for the rings and the heart and even thinner thread for the flower.

Wildlife on the Lake

On Monday because the weather was so nice dad took Ellen and I on a walk. We walked around a lake at Lakeside where there were all kinds of ducks and geese.

My Birthday

This is a personalized stamp that mom and dad gave me.

This is the poem Ellen wrote for me.

A Present
By Ellen Vogltanz

A present is
A pleasant thing.
Sometimes it
May even ring.

With ribbon,

Wrapping paper too.
It probably will have a tag,
And maybe it will be to you.
