Grandma wants to start adding things to the 'bog' so we'll add some posts every so often and have started her an Adventure Book (after watching the movie Up). Check out her adventures to the right. Yesterday after Arn and I got back from our hike we got Grandma outside to enjoy the snow. She said she had never made a snow angel (she's 84) so we helped her down to the ground and she made one. It was fun but didn't turn out great due to all of the foot traffic. We also walked around the house in the snow. She still tires very easily so it was back into the house to rest by the fireplace!

The previously mentioned patty pan squash that were produced were about the size of a quarter! and only had a half dozen.
Garden Updates 2009
1. Started a composting box. 2. Adding triple mix dirt to garden and flower beds. 3. Still trying to get rid of voles. 4. Trying to plant things that voles won't eat. 5. Buy veggies at Farmer's market due to short growing season. 6. My seeds have come up - yeah! 7. Found some pattypan squash seeds that I need to get in the ground (childhood fav) 8. Harvested lettuce, using fresh mint, chives. 9.Hail Damage, hope everything survives. 10.The pattypan squash seeds sprouted, neversurvived due to major rain and hail. 11.Sunflowers are blooming!!! 12. My green beans are getting baby beans but the voles have discovered this too and my row of beans is slowly dissappearing from below. 13. Well, my row of beans has almost completely dissappeared. Now the voles are starting to work on the row of sunflowers (which did quite well). Today I found a sunflower stalk sticking out of a vole hole..... it was too long for the vole to get the whole thing into his hole. 14. Did harvest 2 jalopenos and 1 onion. Something has been eating my peppers too. 15. 10/10/09 Temp. 18 degrees. Everything is covered in frost. Goodbye garden. Will try to harvest some flower seeds. Brought a lot of seeds from Mom's flowers in Ohio. Hollyhock, zinnia, black eyed susan, morning glory. Will see if they grow next yr. Will also give some to Val to see how they do in North Dakota.
