Baseball, Gardens, Greenhouse

This past Saturday was the Dust Off Tournament. They played four 4-inning games and won them all. Elijah played 2nd, 3rd, pitcher and catcher. He also scored every time at bat! Love his team. The coaches are awesome (for a welcomed change) and he likes his teammates. Here he is with Tyler (who had spent the night).

Here he is on first with Scooter (who also spent the night).

He hates playing catcher. Last year if he wasn't pitching this is what he had to do. Not very many kids can catch (or will even try) and he does a pretty good job. The coach promised he wouldn't get stuck there all season so I talked him into doing it. He only caught one game.

Miss Smiles at the game (little breezy!).

Mr. Smiles had fun running around, but man did it wear me out!

One of the garden beds before....

...and after. This year I sprinkled the wildflower seeds that Emily got me for Mother's Day. I've never just done seed so I hope it works out.

Roxie was my helper.

The door is on the greenhouse...

...and we are filling it with plants. (Still quite a few flats to carry out). (This is how light it is at 11:00pm).

The greenhouse is 14' by 25' and really tall. I just love it. When most of the flats go out the the flowerbeds then hubby will build beds inside for the tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

Lots of baskets to plant!

I have some tomato plants that look pretty good.

Quite a few of the Wave Petunias are growing nicely as well. Many of the other plants are stunted from being inside without light for too long, but that's okay. My husband works very hard and I am just thankful he was able to get this much done this quickly.

Well, lots of plants to still carry out, flowerbeds to clean and a pool to finish cleaning and fill. Summer is such a busy time...I'd better get out there and enjoy it!
