Things, Stuff, and more Things on the Farm

Hi, it's Grace again!  I'm sorry I haven't written very much, there aren't a lot of times when I get to write on here.
We have been doing lots of things, including; planting, caring for the animals, getting new animals and.. I can't think of anything else.  Maybe we haven't been doing that much.... anyway, since it's Spring we have been doing lots of planting in the garden, pots, and in the front yard.

Blurry picture of my lovely baby trees.

As you can see, I found a bunch of 2 inch tall baby maples sitting by the future broody house, and I decided to save them from the monster... Mr. Lawnmower, aka Tree Killer!  It actually started with me getting redbuds from the yard, but the maples were more interesting, and all the redbuds died.  The maple trees seem to be really healthy, and now I'm switching from spraying them, to actually using a watering can.  I'll try to put updates on here about them sometime.

Front

The front of the house looked a little run down, because a lot of the plants died from last year's super hot and dry Summer.  So my mom left and bought some plants (mostly herbs) and is currently re-doing that whole place.  She also got some lavender and a thornless rose bush to plant there, and me and dad gave her some things to grow in the pond (cat tails and water lilies).  They come in plastic containers and you just take them out, get them ready, and throw them in the pond and they are supposed to start growing and spreading.  I might post some before and after pictures once she's done!


I'll probably post more about this Spring later, but in the mean time, please comment!  I would love to hear what you have to say!

Thank you for reading,
 Grace
