the garden in full bloom

we waited kind of late to start our spring garden this year.  with all of the rain, it has been quite an unusual season.  although not all are pictured, we have tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, onions, 3 varieties of peppers, raspberries, broccoli, oranges, and sweat peas.  crossing our fingers that all produce yummy foods.




this is a picture of addison's hands holding a BUNCH of catapillars.  we have some shrubs that had TONS of these catapillars on them, so we decided to keep some and hope to "harvest" them into butterflies.  we kept feeding them the bush branches/leaves.  it has been so fun to watch the metamorphosis of the butterflies.  well, i am sure it would have been cool to see them turn into butterflies, but unfortunately we figured out that we had been harvesting MOTHS...argh!!!  that can't be good.  oh well, live and learn.  it was still fun!
