GArdEN MArkERs

A while back I found some plain white plastic garden stakes at WalMart. There were about 25 of them for $4.00!

I spray-painted them a cheery yellow, then wrote veggie names with a black sharpie. I wish I had this many veggies in my garden...these were actually a gift for my dad for Father's Day. He has an amazing garden with almost 25 different kinds of veggies/herbs. I love how the bright yellow stands out from the green when they are in the garden. (Sadly I don't have a picture of it)

Anyway, I thought it was a fun little project and gift for a gardener...I may just have to make some for myself!

Well the wait is finally over! We found out that our "baby seed" is indeed a girl! Here is a lovely profile of our next little princess...

...she totally has the famous "McMahon nose", don't you think? We also got to see her playing with her toes in this next picture...

So amazing to see such a little baby do such a thing! We also caught her yawning. :-o Madelynn will be such a wonderful big sister, and we can't wait to see the sisterly bond they will have. Exciting!!! And now to prepare and decorate!



On to another type of seeds...

My dad and I had so much fun starting our gardens together. The "Man of Plenty" conveniently bought enough seeds and seed-starting pods to supply two gardens! He was more than happy to share the extra with me. So we spent Saturday afternoon selecting seeds, "poking" them into the pods...

...and even making diagrams of our pod garden on graph paper!

It was a wonderful father-daughter project...in a "Cannon" sort of way! Thanks, Dad!
