Week 4.. Scare.. who?!?!

We have made it one month into the garden process. This weekend the family gathered again to weed, prune and fix up the fencing. Cousin Shana built Scare crows.. conveniently named Scare-Cow and Scare-Deer in attempts to keep the deer out. SIL Ev and BIL Jake finished putting up the fencing and fixing my redneck deer fence. We also have some other family members joining us this weekend allllll the way from Georgia! Nana Noni and Cousin/ Girlfriend Sydney.. Holy crap is that confusing!! So an explanation is due... Sydney is the cousin of my stepsons.. but she is also my son Tripp's first and still girlfriend. Crazy I know but no blood relation and come on we are originally from the south ;)... We had a fabulous weekend full of bon-fires, gardening, FOOD and the supermoon! Just plain awesome!

Great family weekend. Lots of de-grassing was done and good times were had, but like most thing it all had to come to an end. Cousin and family headed back south, 2 hours, SIL and BIL head back the cozy house through the woods and Nana, Sydney and Tripp headed on a long journey to Georgia! I sure will miss them all and can not wait for the next time! 

Keep following for the weekly updates!
