Worms, Worms, and More Worms!

Did I mention I was a city girl? I have found a new hobby outside. In our area there are beautiful large white rocks, most of which have gold of some amount in them. The ground is very unique and attracts lighting (another story all together.) Here is some Smyrna trivia: the largest nugget of gold ever found on the east coast was found here in Smyrna. So.....I decided to place these large rocks around my garden. It's like a treasure hunt finding these things, because you see one sticking out of the ground and you think, "That won't be big," then you dig up a 50 pound rock! Under these rocks of course, are worms. Emmy, who hates bugs, loves worms, who knew? She names them, cuddles them, baby talks them, and builds them houses. Could a worm have it any better? Here are some pictures of our recent days:

That's a worm hanging out of her right hand if you can't tell.




Some packing peanuts fell out into our shed, so we gave the girls the task of putting them into a trash bag. Emmy did a great job, Lydia however, liked breaking them into pieces. You win some, and you loose some.



After the "peanut pickup."



Yep, we're in the lawn big leagues...non of those sissy push lawn mowers!



Emmy on one of those bouncy ball things.



Thanks Aunt Joanne for these sweet dresses!
