Henry's apple tree

Five years ago, Henry declared he wanted either a "real baby elephant" or an apple tree for his third birthday. Since real baby elephants are hard to come by, Grandma got Henry this little apple tree. After we moved to Denver, she kept it for us and Henry can visit it every time he is in Portland.

My garden

Here I am posing in front of the sunflowers we planted earlier this year. Who knew I had such green thumbs?

Weeds

Today, Henry and I helped prepare our vegetable garden by weeding the bed. We'll keep you posted as to our progress.
