Our little bit of earth

I know what your thinking, can a city girl, notorious for killing house plants, cactus, and flowers really make a garden grow? The answer is obviously "NO!" But I do believe, with a great deal of help from my lovely family and fabulously rich soil (I've been told it's not called dirt) and organic compost (I've also been told that it's beautiful compost, I'm not so sure I'd call it beautiful), there might be a green thumb somewhere on my body, hopefully it's on my hand.
This morning our little community went out to find our plots and apply manure. Luckily it rained the night before, so it didn't smell that bad. I'm not saying I liked the smell or anything.

This morning at 8:30 a.m. I had this very logical conversation with Conrad:
Me: Let's get ready to go check out our garden and wear something old because we're going to fertilize it.
Conrad: With what?
Me: Cow manure. They just delivered it this morning.
Conrad: Delivered it!?! You mean we had to pay for poop?
Hans: Well someone had to shovel it and you don't think they'd do that for free.

Unfortunately, Hans didn't get paid for shoveling the expensive cow plop.

Neither did Riley.

Adaline, Lucas, & Amelia are ready for Spring or winter. You'll notice Amelia is looking at Lucas, she adores him and will often call him, "My Lucas" or "My Lukee-Luke."

She was very excited to don her Spring hat although it doesn't really go with her winter coat.
