Our garden

So we have taken over the end of the driveway with our little "garden". I use the term garden very loosely, since we have two large pots and a couple of small ones, but you got to look at one of them. See those tomatoes? We did not have those when we bought the plant. I bet that they have about 20 flowers on it. I must have a real green thumb.



Maybe I should be a farmer when I grow up. Z asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. My response was, "I wish I knew, I wish I knew." Maybe we should move to the country and live off the land. Just call me Farmer Pete. On second thought, don't.

Speaking of being green. The other day we logged onto the computer about 7pm local time. Mormor and Mormor were still logged onto their computer in Sweden. We tried to skype with them, but they did not answer of course. They had just left their computer on over the night. Z was quick to reply that they needed to read the "Arthur Goes Green" by Marc Brown.

Going Green

We are going with themes again, until summer anyway. This week is plants, animals and being "green". Yesterday we went out to the forest and picked leaves and flowers. We built a leaf press and when they have dried, we are going to laminate them (my friend Maja would be jealous about that). Basically we have something planned everyday with the highlight being on Saturday and Sunday. We are going to go to the botanical gardens to see the lilac and build our own little garden.

I think that I am the most excited about that one. When we moved in, we were told that we were not allowed to go into the backyard. We did not like this, but we understood that. Well, they have agreed (it was their idea actually) to give us the end of the driveway as our little garden area. We are going to have a couple of plants with flowers and a big one with herbs and tomatoes. Everyone in the family is excited. M is most excited that we are going to have a little table out there as well which we can take out coffee on. I just have to design it out this week and let Doug take a look at it.
