Day 11

The seedlings are growing well.There are a few spots where a seedling should be that are empty. I'll give it a couple more days, just to make sure there aren't sprouts trying to make their way up. If nothing comes, I'll plant in the empty spots on Saturday.

This Memorial Day weekend, I have a full agenda of enchanted backyard tasks:

• Plant beans and peas between the sunflower seedlings
• Set up sandbox
• Buy sand and fill the sandbox
• Haul log from nearby lake to the backyard (I have no idea how this will be accomplished)
• Inquire about a large rock or two to be placed near the log
• Have the girls plant their nursery flowers

I'm also on the look-out for fun things to hang from the maple tree in the backyard: little chimes, bird houses, etc.
