spring weekend happenings

Just an update on things we've been doing. Last weekend was really busy with virtually one event after another. Saturday morning was Evelyne's soccer game at 8am, then Evelyne and I went to the "Keeping it Local" fair in Wilsonville.  We manned a table showcasing community gardening. Then I had to work for a few hours, then we had a birthday party....Sunday was church and then our friends the Hovdes came over for an early Sunday supper.  It was super fun but also super full of events! I guess it keeps life interesting and keeps us all going. As my parents probably remember I always wanted to go somewhere and do something as a kid. They wanted to stay home....guess that never changed!

Our "booth" at the fair. We were representing our community garden plot at Valley Christian Church.  This si the preschool that Gilbert goes to. 

Community gardens have gotten so popular in the last few years and are really quite easy to maintain. The benefits are of course having great fresh produce through the entire growing season! Evelyne and Gilbert love working in a garden. 

Here was the literature we passed out. Quite a few people were interested. The city of Wilsonville has a community garden but is always full with a waiting list. Valley started theirs last year to be able to accommodate other gardeners in need of a plot!

We passed out a lot of flower seeds. 

Ring-around-the-rosie....Evelyne, Gilbert, Luke, and Jonah had fun playing while we were waiting for dinner to be finished. We actually got to eat outside! My camera battery died so unfortunately I only have this one photo.
