The FUTURE likes the Cats.

The top three pictures are before Abruzzi (black) and Capone (white) moved downstairs and the last two are them on their new house that I built them using some leftover carpet from Makayla's room. Capone was really jealous when we first got him and thought he was all bad and would try to attack Abruzzi but Abruzzi is really fast and bigger then Capone (still is) so Capone finally threw in the towel and they became friends after the first half of an hour. Now we hear them running around downstairs making all kinds of ruckus. It is crazy how fast they are growing. It was hard to pick which pictures to post because we have so many funny pictures of them.

We have some more yard stuff.

Well we planted another fruit tree in our back yard that is supposed to give us approximately 20 peaches next year. It is three years old and it is a P F 17 Flaming Fury Peach tree. If you look to the right you can see our Jonagold Apple tree we planted when we first moved in. Our grapes have grown out of control this summer. I wish I had a before and after picture to show how much they have taken over the back part of our deck. I also put a close up of the green grapes. They are starting to get sweet and we have been snacking on them. The last picture is our raspberries which are finally coming on. They are really good and we love to eat them but we usually sneak over to Grandma and Grandpa's place to eat from their huge patch.

Yard and Garden continued

I couldn't get all the pictures I wanted in that one post so I will create another one. You can see the dirt we poured in the front and on the side. The dirt was really low in both of these areas which would make the water pool up against the house but not anymore. We also filled a lot of sunken spots in our lawn but we didnt get any pictures of that. I also added the last picture of our decompose pile. I call it that because we just throw away all of our bio-degradable waste into that pit.

Yard and Garden update

The top picture is of part of our garden. You can see carrots, onions and some small tomato plants that I planted late that randomly grew in my parents yard. There is also a flower in there and if you look to the right you can see a small potato starting, which of course will die before we can ever enjoy it. The next picture is our strawberry patch and we get about 8 delicious strawberries from it every other day. If you look closely you can also see some pots in the ground where I am getting some starts to send over to my parents house so they can enjoy the fruit of these wonderful plants. The third picture down is a side shot of our two big tomato plants which are out of control and have given us about 18 huge meaty tomatoes this year. We made fresh salsa and guacamole with them and eaten them plain or with other foods. The next two pictures are of Alexis and I unloading dirt we got from a lady I met on craigslist.org. We were looking for dirt and she said if we shoveled it and loaded it up we could have it so took two loads and dispersed it around our yard to even things out and to raise the dirt up near our house.
