HA! You thought I was gone for good, didn't ya?? But, such is not the case! I'm very much alive and we have all survived the Winter blues-I guess thats why I haven't been posting much as of late-but, I hope that as Spring and Summer come and go, I'll get a little more "into it". :) 

So, here was our Saturday. Planting season is here again and this year we've decided to do a smaller garden since last years was TOO big for this family to handle. We did what? 22 tomato plants last year? For one family-it was pretty was crazy, and we had tomatos on the counters for MONTHS afterwards. Finally, we made a bunch of salsa. Yay for freezers! :) Between mowing, planting, weeding, cleaning out the garage, cleaning out gutters and drinking delicious lemonade, we kept ourselves quite busy. *nods*

I'll stop rambling and let you get to the photos now-adios! 

Blue skies, red barn, and a garden freshly planted. 

Dad borrowed our neighbors Cabota for spreading the manure.
Yep. Fresh.

Sweet Bell Peppers-I think we got greens, orange, and red out there. We like to be colorful :)

Hot Peppers! We'll be needing those for some spicy salsa. :)
Mmmmm....

Hey, look! Organic! Mom's pretty stoked about this. 

Josiah doing some last minute touches-has to be perrfect. 

These boys were havin' a blast on their dirt bike-you can't tell though, can you? ;)

To some, these are pretty. But for us...

...they call for the John Deere. Lenna was quite happy to be matching it. 

Hannah strikes a pose as she passes by. She's a cutie! 

Me and my sis. :)

Its Elita!!   

Lenna and I totally defying the rules of "one person only" on the tractor.
We had way too much fun with this.

Two of my bestest friends :) 

This jar was filled with fresh, homemade lemonade-by the end of the day, it was this.
Shows for a good day of work. :)
