Mountain Moments

Last weekend we went to the mountains for Aaron to do a consult with a lovely little college outside of Asheville. While dad worked, Gus and I spent hours in an awesome park complete with little creek running through it.

We waited until Aaron could meet to dive in, of course. Pregnant woman + slippery rocks = Bad News.

We were delighted with a seemingly very friendly goose that seemed to be stalking us a bit. He was gorgeous and a big show-off. The fun ended when he tried to take off with Gus' shoe which was a little terrifying.

Garden with Gus

We haven't posted pics of our raised garden beds that Aaron has been installing on the side of our house. They are awesome and to me, life changing. I have always wanted beds like these and we are having so much fun with them. Especially Gus.

We are growing tomatoes, cucumbers, dill, strawberries, rosemary, parsely, sunflowers, lilies, gladiolas, etc and there is always something to waters, snip or smell. Gus likes to monitor the monarch caterpillars on the dill and watch the tomatoes closely for signs of picking.
