A visit to Ottumwa

        These photos were taken May 11th and 12th, the weekend I went to Ottumwa to go plant shopping. Mom, Stacy, Diane, Liam, Riley and I went to 3 Amish greenhouses where I picked out the vegetables I wanted for the season and some annuals for planters. The plants are all in the ground now and thriving with the crazy amount of rain we have received lately. I have also been working to keep the rabbits out. We have a large population on Ferndale that seem to think I am running an all you can eat salad bar. I would also like to thank Jon for building the A frames for vertical gardening and getting the rain barrel all hooked up.  He and Keenan also spent a lot of time recently putting in our new kitchen floors and doing lots of other repair jobs around our home.  We are grateful to have such a wonderful family that is so generous with their time and knowledge.
     
      Riley really enjoyed playing in the grass, picking dandelions and watching Liam run around and play.  Stacy is getting closer to her due date and doing really well.  She has been prepping a nursery area for their new little girl. Liam also had his eye surgery recently to tighten the ligaments around the eyes so they will stay straight. He is at home and doing well. We all hope that is the last surgery for a while.
