In the gardens...

While Finn was coloring out on the deck (doesn't he look intent?), Mommy went to check out the gardens.

I found little zucchini leaves poking out of the ground,

and butternut squash.

The heirloom tomato plants are looking good too.

And look at these cute little berries!
(Don't let the berries fool you...although this plant always bear a
dozen or so, it's never grown much or gotten very healthy.
Must give TLC to the blueberries this year!)

Saw some color peeking into the blue hydrangea.
I almost love this stage as much as the full blue blooms.

And watched Finn learn to give a stink-eye.

Then the sun set on our backyard...
