Last night during our scripture study Mike was reading outloud and I was next to him resting my eyes listening to the account being read. All of a sudden I hear"And the aliens came down in a spaceship and abducted all the people...."I lifted my head and said "What?" Super confused. MIke started to laugh and said, "I was just testing to make sure you were listening and not sleeping."I told MIke I was listening and know too well that aliens did NOT come in the Book of Mormon. You sneaker sneak Mike....I CAN listen with my eyes closed. In his defense, it is a common occurrence that when my eyes are closed, my brain shuts down and I no longer listen. Ahhhhhh, good times in the Alexander home. Keeping it real.
Mike's garden has undergone some serious makeover. Where the dirt and stepping stones are used to be plastic with lots of loose gravel on top. We shoveled up all the gravel together wheelbarrow load by the wheelbarrow load. We had it hauled off by Mike's dad who was happy to use it around his home where his gravel got worn away. Then Mike and his brother spent Saturday get 2 truck loads of mulch and rich soil to mix into the beat up soil that remained after the rocks were gone. Now, we have in our garden carrots and after the last frost we will plant corn, green beans, cucumber, and tomato plants.
We are so excited about our hard work and what has become of it. One of our favorite things to do is to spend time in the yard together. Thank you for all your hard work Mike! After weeks of shoveling rocks and a good long Saturday tilling in soil, our gardens are ready for this fun warm season!
