Holy tomatoes, you should see our tomato garden. We've already got quite a few green ones in the works, and the garden is starting to look like a jungle! Mommy purchased a few of those metal cage things that help the plants as they grow skyward. It was a real treat to see them grow over the past few weeks, and it'll be a completely awesome moment when we start reaping a harvest!
Today started out early with church, which of course is the way we start every Sunday. It was our final Sunday of the Weird Science series, although everyone seems to be more concerned about the upcoming Summer Xtreme event. See? Broken record. Anyway, today was a parent meeting after church, where we let all the parents know about rules, regulations and all the fun stuff we'll be doing. Everything seemed to go fairly well, although Daddy did get home a little later than normal on a Sunday.
Getting home, we played some Candy Land, and read some books, and then got to working on building a canopy for the back deck. Tomorrow, the family is coming over for Memorial Day, so we set up some things outside - and of course Mommy has been cooking and preparing things in the kitchen pretty much non-stop.
Just off the coast of Florida is a tropical storm - and what's this? It could reach hurricane wind strength? That's not right. First of all: I looked it up. Hurricane Season begins on June 1st. Clearly, this Tropical Storm Beryl will be breaking some sort of law. Secondly, who in their right mind would name their child "Beryl?" Pardon the pun here, but that name is really scraping the bottom of the barrel! I have never heard of anyone named Beryl. It sounds more like a rock in Ye-Ye's rock collection actually.
I think meteorologists came up with it just so they could use this phrase: "Hurricane Beryl is barreling up the coast." A little internet research here confirms my suspicion. Here's a title I just found:
So there you go. Beryl is barreling. Last year, a hurricane named Irene was barreling by Georgia, which was Madison's first experience with knowing what a hurricane was. Daddy sort of explained it with a map, and we went outside and felt the breeze. No rain though. This one seems to promise a few showers, though nothing like what South Georgia and Florida will be feeling it. We really hate it for those folks who had plans at the beach for Memorial Day this weekend - Hilton Head, Savannah, Jacksonville: it all looks like a wash.
Things should be okay here, outside of rain later in the day. Right now you can hear the firecrackers already. Madison went to bed a little later than normal tonight, as she was helping out a lot with our construction projects. She also helped water the garden too - I'll have to take a picture of that so you can see it. It's amazing how fast these things grow!
