Green Thumbs.

I dare say Todd and I should be farmers. Our favorite activity for the last month has been planting things and watching them grow. Sounds exciting right?! Well.. it is for us! ha ha. About a month ago, we decided to plant strawberries! We found this cool "strawberry kit" that came with soil, a hanging pot, and seeds. We just couldn't leave the store without it. So, we went home and planted our little seeds! After about a month of growing, we are happy to report that we have cute little plants that are half an inch high (..maybe smaller..). We thought that growing strawberries would be quick and exciting... but actually its similar to watching turtles stampede through peanut butter. Nonetheless, we love our little plants.

Strawberries weren't enough entertainment for us, so we wanted to get planting pots and plant flowers to put on our patio. When we went to visit family this last weekend, my parents gave us some planting pots they weren't using (thanks mama and papa!). We brought them home, filled them with planting soil and planted pretty flowers! I was so excited! Oh, and we put up a hummingbird feeder. Within seconds of hanging the feeder, a hummingbird came zipping on up to it and it scared us. We both screamed (of course) and the bird quickly flew away. I think we scared it and it told its friends not to come to our house because we haven't seen a single hummingbird since. Serves us right for being chickens I guess..
