grasshoppers and smartie parties


 
    For the last few weeks we've been finding this grasshopper on our lily out front. He was quite a but smaller when we first started seeing him, but he's gotten pretty big over the last few days. He seems to stay on the lily all morning, then disappear until the next morning, Isobel is in LOVE with him!

 


   We are lucky enough to get lots of packages and letters in the mail. There is nothing like getting something in the mail to get everyone hopping. Yesterday We got a box from Granny and Pop complete with a new tea set and some smarties. Wesley announced "me and Isobel are having a smartie party, hey that rhymes!"

smarties are gone, time to climb in the box

   The garden has been growing fast, we've been eating cucumbers, peas, beats, lots of herbs and yesterday Wesley picked the first tomato. Everything is getting pretty dry so we've been wishing for rain, no luck yet.



this little sunflower was planted by a Squirrel :)
