We spent a quiet morning at home in the backyard exploring our various garden projects and watching the chickens. Back before easter we'd constructed this teepee in the hopes of making a cool fort to play in. It's finally starting to get there, except that deer, the japanese beetles and rust seem to have found our plants, so I'm not sure it'll get much more lush than this. The deer enjoy the tomatoes and birdhouse gourd blossoms, the japanese beetles munch the bean leaves into lace, and the rust seems to be primarily attacking the gourd leaves. The morning glories are the only thing that seem untouched.
Zooming in to see our biggest gourd. Lucia is after the green beans.
Dante found this katydid in the hydrageas behind the garden fence.
Our proud man struts about looking for treats. Dante reports that he began to crow this week, but I haven't heard it myself yet.
Dante cuddles Izzy.
Lucia, modeling a lovely bedhead hairstyle this morning, swings with Tinkerbelle.
Peepers joins Dante on the swing.
The girls love their greens.
