Thursday Brenna and I went to the museum with Mieree and Rhiannon. They had the "Grossology" theme and I tell you what - it was disgusting! They had fart machines, name-that-smell (yep, use your imagination! I'm sure what you're thinking is right on! LOL), a rock wall that looked like skin with moles and pimples and warts as the 'rocks' you climb on. They had a play area for the kids that looked like the digestive system. The kids went through the mouth, up a ladder, then slid down the esophagus slide, into the stomach and then had to crawl through the large and small intestines to get out. LOL Oh this place was GREAT! Brenna learned so much too. They had things written everywhere and even had a pretend game show set up that asked questions about the stuff there. We are definitely going back with Brendon! Of course I forgot my camera - realized it as soon as we got there. I will remember it for next time and post some then.
Anyways, I have not posted any pictures of my garden! Brenna and I worked on it yesterday and laid some mulch down. The mulch helps with weeds and keeps the dirt from drying out so fast and it also prevents the vegetables from laying in the dirt and rotting. It really helps around the basil and the thyme because my herbs aren't touching the dirt at all. Right now we have 4 cucumber plants, 5 tomato plants, 2 zucchini, 5 pepper, 3 garlic, basil and thyme. I also bought some marigolds and planted them because they are natural insect repellents and they also look pretty and add a bit of color.
I took a picture of Brenna laying some mulch. It was evening so there were lots of shadows. (You can click on the pictures and make them bigger.)
Tomorrow Brendon, Brenna and I will be going to the livestock show so I'll post about that this week and hopefully have some good pictures.
