Summer Morning

This is a poem Ellen wrote last Tuesday for Grandma's birthday.

Every morning I wake up.

I see the sun and then I know,

It's time to feed the pup.

We feed our pup,

We water our garden,

And then we see a robin!

Mr. Robin is chirp, chirp, chirping.

I think he likes the morning!

Growing Celery

My friend Becca told me about a way to grow celery that she had read about on a blog.  She said that if you chop off the end of a bunch of celery (about three inches away from the end), and put it  in 1/8 inch of water for up to a week it will grow a celery plant.  Then after a about week plant in soil.  So I tried it with the ends of two bunches of celery.  I was so excited the next day when I saw that one of them had grown!  I planted them in our raised garden and both are growing nicely.

The second day

 

 This is after a couple days.

 

This is after almost a week.

Now this is what they look like.
