Our garden :: Nuestro Jardin

Well, we have started working in our garden, Nuri is building a terrace and Leila has planted few things (spinach, lettuce and ruttabaga) near the house where we found some chives so we have some greens -while the terrace is being built.

There is a lot to do in our garden, we have the front yard that needs a lot of work as well, but slowly slowly we will do things. Our trees are surely doing good, the apple trees and cherry bushes have little leaves now and the strawberries are doing well too, we need to find some straw to mulch around them, and this year we have to remove all the flowers so they can produce more! But we are very excited. We have met three neighbors: the couple to our right, the couple behind them and the couple behind us. They are all very lovely and two couples have been here since the houses were built in the 60s, so we are loving hearing about all what has been going on around here!

Bahia loves being outside and she is a great help these days sitting there and playing while we work. Especially she likes looking at her Dad working with all those tools and gears, she is very curious, and notices all the little creatures now, she is very happy and social, likes to smile and interact with our neighbors, and these days she is trying to crawl. She still goes backwards, but now when she wants to go somewhere she lays on her back and pushes herself forward to what she wants, arching her back and pushing with her legs and arms, she is very smart! But she is very close to figuring out crawling, she has gone forward few times and got surprised of herself, so we are sure she'll do it anytime soon.
