breaking ground

We've been spending lots of time in Farmer City at the ole farm house. Friday night we planted some seeds in the vegetable garden. And Saturday we painted. All day. I painted like I have never painted before. I have always managed to be pregnant when it's time for real painting to be done, so I've been able to excuse myself from the tough jobs. But not this time. After 6 hours I noticed the blisters on my palm. After 7 I started hiding in the back room. Just standing there, hiding from Patrick. 5 gallons of white primer later we called it a day. We'll be heading there again this evening for Round 2.

Oh and if you believe all of that hocus pocus about real vegetables growing from seeds, these little ones should be turning into carrots peas this summer.

I believe your seeds will turn into vegetables! Ours do every year in our garden.

As for the painting just do a REALLY bad job as I did when we moved into our house and I painted the upstairs guest bathroom. Then you will be told you are no longer allowed to paint:)

Christina wanted me to leave a comment, and so I shall. The seeds in the pic are actually peas. And I do thank you for your help with the painting!

I am so confused. Why is Patrick putting regular ole green peas in the ground? Where are the real seeds? Maybe I'm just tired, but I don't get it!!! :P
