Mills Family Garden


This Spring Randel and Sara decided that they would plant a garden. We have a small area where we have a garden spot. So early spring Sara and her Dad planted peas, radishes and carrots. The radishes popped right up and then the peas followed the carrots never appeared for months. Finally they popped up. In May Randel and Sara planted onions, zucchini, crookneck, cucumbers and tomatoes plants. They never grew, it was like the plants growth got stunted. They finally grew but so did the weeds. The other night we went out to look at the garden and I decided that it was time to weed so we could tell the difference between the plants and the weeds.

Here is a row of onions that have and have not been weeded.
See the difference!!!

New Addition to the Family

One night while Jacqi was out with some friends they were driving along and they heard a kitten meowing and so they stoped to see about it. They decided the kitten was homeless and took it home. The group decided that Jacqi was the one that should keep it. She put the kitten in her purse. She got it past her dad but her mother saw it pop its head out of the bag. Needless to say I was a little hesitant about taking in a stray, but Jacqi insisted that we keep the little thing. Its really cute but we already have two other cats. So then came the requirements. The most important one. She had to pay to get that little female fix. The last thing I need is 8 or 9 more kittens running around. Jacqi agreed and Lidya, the kitten, has been a part of the family ever since.

Ready, Set ,Go!

Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.
