The greenhouse effect:

This afternoon, when I finished working in the greenhouse, I kept the door open like this to keep the dogs out. Hopefully the guys will have time to build the screen doors soon too, so we can keep the white cabbage moths out as well when they show up! The reason I propped the door open, even though it was only about 50 degrees outside is that...


...at this time of day...

...it was this warm inside...

...and my camera lens even got foggy when I first went inside!

Would you like to see some of the things that we're growing?

Alright...

We're growing some cute frogs:

(not that they're growing, but they are cute, don't you think? :) )

...and there are many little weeds coming up...

...there's lettuce...

...beets...

...broccoli...

...the peas are poking out...

...so are the green beans...

...and the strawberries seem to be doing well too!

When I went out to check the cows this afternoon (Dad and Andrew were out cleaning grain again and Mom and Jacob went east of Linton to pick up a piece of farm equipment that Dad bought from a guy he cleaned for there, so the checking was up to me), I also took a picture of our curious goats: Any day now we should find some babies when we go out to the barn!

While going all over the pasture with the 4 wheeler, I took a picture of "Crocus Hill": :)

I came upon this old girl, in the process of giving birth. As I could see 2 feet and a nose, I decided to leave her alone for a few minutes...

After hauling some water out to the cow that had the surgery (she's not moving around a whole lot, so we're taking her grain, hay and water, ) I went back to check on the expectant mother and found that her expectations had turned into a reality!

And now here is a picture of the first batch of bread I've made using my Kitchen Aid. It turned out quite well. :)

This evening, I went over to our neighbors (not the ones I usually babysit for, but the ones I occasionally do :) ) for a couple hours to watch their children so the mother could go to a prayer meeting. Mr. S. and their oldest boy, Tucker were out taking care of their many head of cattle, so I just had their 4 year old, 3 year old and 6 month old to entertain, or should I say, to entertain me. The baby was very good and the other two talked and talked and talked and talked. :) It was fun. It would have been nice to be able to fly tonight though, as the road from our place to the S's farm is under water right now, so I had to drive about 7 or 8 miles to get to their place, where as, if I could have flown, I would have only had about a mile and a half to go. It was an adventure this way though, as I'd only been on that windy road one time a long time ago, so now I know my way around a little better.

That was our day, in a nutshell, so to speak. Until tomorrow then,
