So, I'm pretty much caught up with blogging! Yay for me!

The most exciting thing I have going on right now is a tomato.. Yes, a tomato! Caleb's mom got me a couple Purple Cherokee Heirloom Tomato plants(my absolute favorite)for mother's day to put in my whiskey barrell..

Our whiskey barrell used to have a pine tree in it. However, I killed it. :( I kill pretty much any plant I put my hands on. That, my friends, is why it's so freaking exciting that I actually have a tomato!!!

See it???

Caleb and I also invested $3 on a cat nip plant for Pepper at Walmart last night. Pepper is slightly addicted to it. We have to keep putting it up on really high places so he can't get to it because I'm afraid he's going to overdose.. 

 Caleb didn't believe me when I said Pepper would eat it. He thought he would just "smell it." Haha.. silly Caleb!

Lastly, Caleb has been pretty slow at work the past few days, so he made this for me while he was bored...

It's kind of hard to see with all our grass, but it's a flower made out of horse shoes. How cute is that??

We are enjoying our summer so much! We have a lot of fun stuff planned and can't wait to go camping and start enjoing our warm (finally!) weather! :)

So, I am about a week behind on blogging stuff but I don't really feel like making one giant post or putting up a bunch of posts all in one day, so I'm just going to blog once a day for a while until I catch up...

On the same day Caleb and I saw the kits (baby foxes), we had been working in our yard. We put in new mulch, weeded, and planted a Dwarf Alberta Pine in a whiskey barrel. We got this awesome old steel wheel at an equipment auction about two months ago and were finally able to put it out...

Getting ready to plant the tree...

All planted!

Yes, the wheel is chained and locked to the post of our house. Caleb thinks someone will steal it if we just leave it out. I promise we don't live in the ghetto... although if we did live in the ghetto, we probably wouldn't need to put a chain and lock around an old piece of farm equipment because no one would really want it in the ghetto...
