Since we finally had an entirely sunny weekend ahead of us, we decided we were past due to tackle the garden. We enlarged the garden quite a bit this year and transplanted some of our blueberry bushes that were in the way. Though we are still waiting on a load of llama-doo from Aunt Chris & Uncle Preston's llamas (wonderous tales are circulating about the legendary properties of this llama-doo, so we are trying to have zen-like patience), we did buy a pile of composted moo-doo for a section of the garden we wanted to get started on. Actually we are kind of late already for planting some of the early veggies, but hopefully our snap peas, kohlrabi, kale, pak choi, and broccoli raab will still take off even if it gets really warm soon. The garlic is up, and we have wild leeks growing all around the stream in our backyard. Too bad our kitchen is totally non-functional still and we haven't been cooking anything you can't zap!

Aiden was happy sitting out on the lawn and watching the garden action, for the most part. Last week at daycare he had a breakthrough of sorts with the solid food... all of a sudden he has become a lot more accepting of "real" food. This weekend too, he ate a whole carton of yogurt (yes, some actually made it into him, contrary to what it looks like in the picture), plus a handfull of peas and veggie-puffs, and about a half-cup of refried beans and guacamole. His tastes are random for an infant, to be sure.

Mmmm....yogurt!
Doin' the scoot...
