When Chad was growing up, he used to say “Why do YOUR hobbies always cause work for me? I’d ask him to help me in the garden. “No! That’s your hobby. I don’t like gardening!”
I think they built about 10 of these raised beds and are now planting vegetables.
There’s the girl out watering. Look at her cute little watering can, no shoes and hair that hasn’t been combed in probably weeks but I can’t say much about that.
They’ve even planted flowers in the brick raised bed.
The funniest thing of all . . Chad has never been happy with my chickens. He thought they were too much trouble for a few eggs. Chad is off on Fridays so he keeps Addie with him. I got a note from Nicole that said “I’m not sure Chad can keep Addie on Fridays any more. This is what I found when I got home today.”
I see two but there are more. Chad has chickens! He has no chicken coop. Nicole’s parents live on acreage and have a coop . . I think. They had a coop but it burned down a few years ago. They have chickens so I’m betting Chad’s chickens end up at his in-laws’ house.
I just thought it was so funny that they bought chickens.

I’m sure Addie agitated for that. =) This will be interesting to observe. Those are great boxes. If I had boxes like that, I’d have a garden outside, too. Maybe if Regan builds the concrete area under the deck he says he’s going to replace, he will also build 2 or 3 or 4 boxes I can set on the edge where they will get afternoon sun. =)

LOL…our girl was the same way and she just bought chickens too. She’s in the process of building a coop and has planted a garden. I love their raised beds and they are raising Addie right – combed hair is highly overrated.

Tell me about it. I actually combined my hair and used the curling iron this morning. I thought Vince would notice because I’ve been looking really bad but he didn’t so either my looking bad didn’t other him or the curling iron didn’t result in a noticeable improvement.

We tried a raised bed, (more or less) but it doesn’t get enough sun. We pretty much live in the woods, so the sun is hard to come by sometimes. 🙂 Now if I could just talk the husband into letting me get some chickens….
