Monday night we went for a nature walk on the Cress Creek Trail. The girls loved being in the mountains and playing in the water. Because there is a hot spring in the canyon, the streams are lukewarm rather than icy cold. The trail was very improved and kid friendly and Lily made it the whole mile and a half on her own. Annie did almost 3/4 of a mile.
I finally got our garden planted. I was sore for three days just from planting. We are growing watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, summer squash, butternut squash, zucchini, pumpkins, corn, beets, carrots, snap peas, onions, green onions, flowers, tomatoes, and peppers. It is a challenge to garden here with the cooler temps and windy dry weather. We're considering this year to be an experiment to see what changes we need to make in the future.
This is the artwork we put up to replace the cliche huge vinyl saying that was on our wall. It finally feels like this is our house now that all the vinyl from the previous owners has been taken down.
Lily after gymnastics in her new leotard. She was so excited to go to class but was having a grumpy moment when I snapped this.
So happy about our new addition to the family....a grain mill. I make our bread every week and like to use fresh wheat. I used to borrow a grinder from my mother-in-law when we lived near Boise but I decided it was time to get our own with some of our tax return money. Now I can use the wheat we have in our food storage!
We had a pretty busy week. Lots of errands and places to be. But we still made time to play and relax!

Excited about the grain mill! Lily looks like Anne-of-Green-Gables in the straw hat and tongue out! So cute.
Wow your garden looks amazing! I hope things grow well. We've loved watching our garden grow. A wheat grinder sounds awesome! I'm kinda craving your home made bread right now :)
