Hello hello! We had a busy morning!
First we had an electrician over to look at the house, but that wasn't exciting much for us. But then the doorbell rang again and new friends got delivered! They were Riin and Eri from Latvia! They are traveling toys, but not Toy Voyagers - Mel met their mom on postcrossing and offered to take them for a bit. She's trying to see if they will sign up for an account like us!
So then we had to go to the store because we were out of bread and stuff. So Mel took us small toys along!
This is the cereal aisle...
The meat and seafood counters...
And then the produce! What, no birdseed?? Fine, I'll eat the bread.
And when Mel looked at the price of tomatoes, she remembered she had her own plants that needed planting now the fear of frost is mostly over. So that is what we did next!
It was a team effort.
Dan came to help with the heavy work. We asked him why he cared about the garden, and he said that since he was a chef, of course he cared about growing good food!
I helped pull weeds and sticks out of the garden box!
I was very very good at that!
This is Riin and Eri! Aren't they tiny! They helped with weeds too!
Then Vanilla put a big scoop of compost in the hole from the big ball.
Amanda was big enough to handle the plants, but vanilla helped! This is a tomato!
I was in charge of putting in the tag so Mel knows what plants are what!
We planted a lot of plants for such small toys, but Mel helped. Here we are with our mostly done garden!
Mel says this might be a good day to go to work with her, though Monday's are usually busy and there is a full moon too soon, so she might be wrong. We will be good mannered and stay quiet if it is busy!
