so we started saturday morning off with our very first breakfast in the new greenhouse, even though it was not officially finished, we figured it was close enough. it ended up being almost too warm, but it was exciting to break in our new cozy space.
after breakfast thomas and zoe screwed down the boards in the flooring. zoe was in charge of the screws, handing them to pappa one at a time. and he was NOT allowed to hold them in his mouth. it was very cute. but pappa took too long, so zoe came over and insisted on a picture of us in the greenhouse as well. she has really gotten into self portraits. i got a new cellphone that has a camera and she insists on taking fotos of her or me whenever she sees it.
then i had to put in a foto of zoe inspecting my tiny little tomato plants that are coming up. i am just hoping that it is not going to freeze overnight again. we are seeing tiny little green heads poking up here and there elsewhere in the greenhouse, but these were the first of the year. i am so excited, i cannot wait for all the homegrown tomatoes, unless zoe gets to them first like last year.
then after the screwing down of the floor, pappa decided to be even more productive and started cuttting down our chesnut tree. i know, i know, but it is not the kind of chesnuts you can eat, and it just litters tons of chesnuts on our lawn every year so that nothing can grow. not to mention that our neighbors have complained (very nicely mind you) that blocks alot of sun in their garden in the summertime. here is a pic of zoe holding up pappa in the tree. see? he is standing on her hands. she thought that was hilarious. now the tree is completely bare, well almost, pappa left enough branches so that we could hang zoe´s swing, which she is loving, finally has a swing close enough to the ground that she can swing by herself. i am looking forward to reclaiming our yard that was unusable due to chesnut dropage.
