Happy birthday!

We had a 5-day birthday "weekend"  :D   What a weekend!  We were vendors at our first ever farmers' market, went on our 1st ever family road trip, had visits with both grandmas, played our first round of Travel Scrabble, ate a whole lot of wonderfully bad (& wonderful!) food, ran a bunch of errands, did loads of gardening, and the Moose had her first real play-date today (she was so good & had a lot of fun)!  Happy birthday indeed.

on the road to Kenai / Nikiski - look at all that snow!

I know it wasn't long ago that we still had snow here, but man! it seems like forever ago now that the grass is green & the sun is shining  :)

the back bed - strawberries on the right, garlic in the left & middle.  the short green plant behind the left plank are some of my first ever dahlias  :)  the tall green in the upper left corner is an Indian pea a fellow vendor gave us at the Market - it's supposed to have lovely purple flowers!  and, of course, the gnomes are ever watchful; mine is also, as usual, helping fertilize the plants  ;)

daddy & baby checking on the kiwi vines  :D  LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

papa bear explaining kiwi buds to baby moose - she was SO interested, I think mostly because she got to hold onto the wall of water & look into it LOL  it was pretty freaking adorable.

poor baby is letting mama know how indecent it is that she's been told "no hands" on the apple buds  :p
