With only a four day week, we still managed to accomplish plenty of tasks. We spent time caring for our special critters...like the very cheerful crayfish in the photo...as well as the beautiful sprouts in the greenhouse. So many things are growing and it makes us so happy! Stop in to check it out whenever you get a chance. With this springlike weather, we were able to get outside and do some trimming and cleaning up. We pruned trees and branches, checked on paths in the woods, and even enjoyed exploring the creek. Nothing like some time out in nature, having fun together! Today we worked on more catnip toys, some cleaning, and had a great time watching the start of the courtyard project. The demo of the old, cracked cement was lots of fun to watch. We are glad to share a few pictures with you! |  Catnip Toy Making | Jungle Jam & Juicy Jam Always available here at GG as well as in Salem at
