The Greenhouse picture

Ok ladies,

I had made an entry about a greenhouse my sweetheart was making for us, but I hadn't figured out how to load pictures yet. I have really been blessed with this simple structure.

Here is the beginning stages.

Here is my sweetheart, dd, and papa working hard. We are so blessed with wonderful grandparents for our children. Craig's parents live on the property connecting ours. They are involved in most of our projects. It has been such a help over the years.

Here it is with the heavy duty plastic on it. I've have been quite busy planting seeds. We had a bad cold snap a few weeks ago, and many trees and plants were bit back pretty badly. I had bought and everlasting hydrangea bush last fall, and it looked dead after the hard freeze. I put in in the greenhouse, and it has some new leaves coming out, yeah!

Isn't this fun?? I am having a blast with this stuff. Aren't you proud Amy?

Here are some of the seedlings. You can't really see them, but they are there. There is calendula, and stevia, and some Illinois canteloupe (cantelope??sp..), that my friend Shawnee gave me.

Here are some window shelves my sweety made. I like them better than window boxes. You can switch out with the seasons easily. At Christmas I go into the woods and dig up little pine trees to put on them, and in the fall I decorate with mums and pumpkins.

Here is my dd holding two of the six new additions at our house. We have 2 mama cats, and they both are so proud. I saw jenig's new kittens and they were so cute, I had to take a picture of some of ours too. I felt like a midwife to these cats. Kittens everywhere. They had there litters three days apart. It is such an exciting thing for my treasures. They love playing with them, and dd is very motherly.

On another note, my ds turned 12 this last week. We had a birthday party up in the mountains. It was suppose to be warmer, but it was very cool. Poshred1's family came. We had a delightful time. I have to share a couple of pictures.

Here we are. We seem like normal people right? Well think again. We let our children in the water. They begged. How bad could it be right? If you have ever been in the mountains of East Tennessee, you would know how cold that water was, if the temp outside was 65. I must have been out of my mind. I lost all sense of motherly instinct, and my children froze. Some of my children forgot their change of clothing. Had it not been for Amy's super stocked Burban we would have been in trouble.

a Here is Amy's youngest treasure swimming. We laughed so hard when we saw this picture. It's a reminder of our children's chattering teeth. Poshred is good for me. Much more laid back than I am. She didn't seem to be near as stessed as me. In our defense, they were only in for a few minutes. Amy was right, they do get out when they are cold enough.

Have a blessed evening.

In Christ Jesus,

Geanine
