Carrol County Farm Day

Today we went to Carrol County Farm Day and had a blast. I think just about everyone went to at least one workshop that interested them. And learned a lot of neat things. Our 4-H group sold snow cones and we found out the A.J was the fastest wood tosser in Carrol County in the 15 and up age group. Who would of guessed. The kids had a blast building bird house, learning about blueberry plants and how to care for pigs. And so much more.

Smore Time

With nothing else to do this evening Arron started a camp fire. Madison invited the neighbors and we all hung out around the camp fire eating smore's and having fun. Till the rain came.

Beans and Cucumbers anyone?

I do this every year I plant two rows of beans. One green and one yellow the whole length of the garden and then we spend hours picking. This isn't even all of the beans. We ended up giving a whole paper bag full of them to one of our neighbors. Plus we picked one row earlier this week.
