Commodore Brilliantbones spent most of today building rasied garden beds for me.  I'm so excited to plant!  I don't know how it will all turn out but I'm gonna give it my best shot. 

I wish I had a digital camera to show you how I arranged the beds.  There are six beds, 8ft by 4ft.  I arranged them in a hexagon shape so that the corners are almost touching; about a foot in between each corner so I can walk into the center hexagon.  It kinda looks like a starburst.  I would like to put something in the middle of the hexagon, but I'm not sure what yet.  It made me think of my dad and how he would love to see the geometric shape!  (I grew up in a pentagon shaped house)

Capt'n Tess had softball practice on Saturday.  She did well, but you could tell about 1 hour into it that she was done.  (practice is usually 1 1/2 hours)  It began to rain quite a bit and I knew she didn't like it much, but she stuck it out and did a great job.  All the kids did.  I have been tagged for the Team Mom, so I have been learning what that is all about and doing my best to be organized with it.  I had to play catcher for the batting practice and I was really suprised to wake up the next morning with my glutes KILLING ME!  I guess it was a hour of bending over to get the ball when the batter missed!  So funny, I didn't think I had much of a workout.

Busy vacation week coming up.  We have many activites planned.  Rain stick making at the library, a "mystery fish" project with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, outdoor survival learning and a kayak class from an outdoor expert.  We will be having lots of fun this week!
