The Farm

Today we went on a field trip with Phedora's preschool to The Farm in Snohomish. We thought the weather was going to hold out for us but about a third of the way through the tour it started pouring. On the way home we stopped and bought a couple of tomato starts, corn starts and an orange flower called a tequilla sunrise. By the time we got home the sun was shining again and we were able to go work in our garden. We planted the tomatoes and transplanted our lettuce and spinach starts that we have been growing.

deck for the time being, it looks like a weed).

Awww I want one.

Petting the lambs.

They had baby rabbits too and sheep and goats as well. Of course the battery in the camera died though so no pics of those. After all the excitement the kids enjoyed a ice cream on this cold spring day in Wa. We had a great time though despite the rain.
