My Garden

I wanted to post some pictures from our garden. We planted some sunflowers, some have red in them and they look like sunset...we also planted some that will be 10-14 ft tall but they haven't flowered yet. I also got some African sunset climbing Black eyes Susans that climb up the posts out front and look great.

I haven't posted in a while, it's been busy. Tracey, Kaylie and Hannah were visiting so between their visit and the kids' activities, there was alot on the go. Tracey managed to make one soccer game for each of her neices and nephews. It was sad to see them go, we may have shed a tear or two but it was great to see them. Elysia and Graham were both quite upset, Graham wanted to know why we couldn't just all live in the same province...things are so simple to a nine year old.

Friday night Janet, Steve, Owen and Parker were in the valley. Janet and Owen came to Elysia's soccer game (we got a little wet) and then they spent the night. Janet and I went to Joe's in Wolfville to relive some of our Acadia days...some scot skins, which were delish and then a walk and drive around town...we saw the old "pink" house (which is now blue) where our husbands once lived together...actually they lived more at our house but had you seen the pink house you would have stayed at our place too...it was a landfill in the making.

The weekend was busy, both kids were playing in the New Minas soccer tournament. Elysia played one Friday night (yeah, it rained) and two on Saturday (it poured during the second game...1 win and two losses and two wet parents and two soaked kids. Graham played three games today, they lost all three but they sure have come a long way. Their passing and their thinking about what to do with the ball has greatly improved. Their coach, David (Connor's dad) told them if they played hard, he would go down the soap/water slide that was set up there and he did. The kids got quite the kick of it. Needless to say we are soccered out. Graham only has his closing night and Elysia has one practice and one game left. Graham still has some baseball to keep us busy though.
