Remember when my garden plot looked like this? It’s basically the last time the blog was updated.
Now it looks like this:
I know it’s hard to tell with the grass around it, but there are things like corn, watermelon, flowers, basil, and…..
Squash! or Zucchini! I don’t remember which one I planted 
maybe both!
Look! Peppers! So far, this is the only pepper plant with anything growing on it.
Tomatoes! I have 18 more of these plants (different varieties). There are some with green tomatoes and many more that are covered in flowers. So far, I’ve picked one red tomato that was eaten by bugs. I’m hoping to save the others by using Chris and Cindy‘s recommended soap spray.
So, I’m going to do this a little out of order. I realized if I kept waiting until I had a chance to sit down and put in all of the photos at the same time and keep them in order of date taken, I would never get caught up. Instead, I’m going to try and start putting in the most recent days and as time permits fill in the past.
Yesterday we picked Zoey up from her week long stay at the Stephen F. Austin University Band Camp. At the end of camp, the bands put on a concert and give out awards. This year, Zoey made the concert band instead of the symphonic. No worries though. There were only five 8th grade oboe players, who were all pretty evenly matched.
Here she is with two of her band camp friends. Zoey met Avery (the one on the right) last year at camp and they’ve kept in touch.
Zoey with the director of her band and receiving one of the many awards she earned. As the camp director said, “You can never have too many pictures of Zoey”. She received awards for reed making, musicianship, and the Outstanding Musician for her band (which comes with a scholarship towards band camp next year). Way to go Zoey! We are so proud of you!
It’s time to get caught back up on the 365 project. Many pictures will soon be posted. A little over a months worth to be close. It might not happen today, but it is my goal for the weekend.
Other goals? Shopping. My ever growing children need some summer clothes before they are forced to lay around the house in just their skivvies. I suppose sending them to their various camps in shorts that are 70′s basketball shorts lengths would not work. It’s retro! I wondered the other day on Facebook about how my children ever survive the school day where they can’t just sit around and eat constantly. I only thought I was joking. They are constantly hungry. I’ve been making larger meals thinking there would be leftovers for lunch the next day. Extra taco meat? Nope, Oldest child ate six of them. The same with our veggie lasagna, burgers, and sweet and sour chicken. Whatever I’ve fixed has been eaten completely and they still ask for something else after. I have a feeling that before the summer is over, the older two will be towering above me.
