Copperheads anyone?

Okay, we may not be carrying water up the hill anymore.

Last Monday we went down to get water.... I had been warning the kids that there might be snakes because it is getting so warm. Sure enough, we saw the biggest copperhead we have ever seen. Thankfully it was going away from us. It was in the water, which I thought was weird for a copperhead. But he made a believer out of us. Also, we scooped up a bull frog and took him to the garden. Of course we didn't know we had him at the time. What if he had been a copperhead?

We're having fun now!

Finally, the onions are in the ground. They should have been in the ground on Valentine's day, but we couldn't get them in until Monday, February 25. They seem kind of scraggly (is that a word?) but they'll shape up. Right?

The next picture is our source of water. Such clear pretty water......LOL. Aren't we going to have fun!

And then carrying the water up the hill to the garden.

At last, the onions get a nice cool drink.

It is going to be a lot of work, but we don't mind getting dirty. Mostly, we're just happy being on my Grandpa's farm. It is our favorite place to be!

Later in the day my cousin dropped by and we went to watch him fish. He did catch a nice bass that weighted in around 3 pounds. Lucky for us, he slipped him back into the pond so we could try our luck catching him again.
