Rebecca, I mean Marilee!
Yes, we have a Rebecca in the family now, but it's me on the farm. And yes, corny is an Eaves trait. (For you younger ones, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm)

Anyhoo, that is me and the south 40. You can see the farm behind me but I carefully choose this angle so you would be duly impressed and not see the typical subdivision around.
: ) I can pretend can't I?

Jim was here two weekends ago and helped me till and plant my raised garden. I suspect someone is eating the lettuce but haven't caught Peter Rabbit yet. Or the sneeky bird... I am not sure a rabbit can jump up on our raised bed as it is anywhere from 3-4.5 feet high. 

Trying my hand at heirloom tomatoes ...

And all summer long strawberries ... (Mom, need pastry)
Spinach!


We have lettuce, too. And I am hoping the asparagus in the background proves productive. Okra, red bell peppers, and yellow squash. We will see.

Vaughn and Riley want to plant cucumbers and carrots. I am going to let them plant down on the ground where they can reach things themselves. And since we don't have a pool yet, we are thinking about an inground trampoline. Remember that Eaves clan? At Aunt Opal's house in Cookeville?

And look who just arrived in the apple tree! Four new robins! They just turn their little beaks up and squeal for mom to bring yummies! I watched a momma dove hatch her one large pink egg over the last three weeks. He is gone now.  I guess the whole family is what I hear outside the bathroom window. You are welcome to visit Eden any time. Love you all.

What funny big heads!

  1. Garden looks good and seems like a great idea putting up in that above ground walled area. Now if you can figure out some automated water using the solar panels to power a sprinkler with water from the rain barrels.
