Six People in May.

We didn't exactly make it away from the house, but I like it anyway. It was a busy last day of May and we had just returned home from a Boy Scout meeting. We were all too tired for it but once again we pulled it off at the very last minute. My face looks a little strained but the kids all look so happy, they must have been laughing at me something as we stared the camera snapping away.



I jumped over to Picnik from Picasa and used a blemish tool to try to edit out the red broom handle behind me, it didn't work so well. Maybe one day I'll get around to more advanced photo editing but for now I sort of like the smeared broom handle. Adds a little mystery to the photo, don't you think?

We're standing proudly in our garden on the side of the house. We just completed the garden a week ago by putting down gravel and the whole package is nothing short of spectacular to me. We aren't great gardeners by any means but we're learning a lot and already enjoying the vegetables of our labor. Radish, squash, peppers, lettuce are all plentiful at the moment and I'm definitely salivating over the dozens and dozens of tomatoes that are just on the verge of ripe.

You can bet I'll be sharing more chicken/garden stuff soon!
