May Showers

Welcome to May! The month has started a little on the soggy side, but we really need the rain. It is great for Leah's vegetable garden! Leah has been enjoying a visit from her Auntie Shannon this week. Leah is an excellent tour guide, and has shown Shannon some of the highlights. We managed to beat the rain today, and make an expedition to the berry patch. Leah LOVED picking strawberries, though she probably ate more than she put in the bucket. Her face (and shirt) were totally pink by the time we left the patch. Leah also had a good time, directing Mommy & Shannon to "Follow me." down the rows of berries. Once we picked our fill, Leah got a chance to visit some farm animals. She saw cows, goats, sheep, rabbits, ducklings, and a peacock! It was a very fun outing, and I think we'll have to try blueberry picking this summer!
