Weekend Activities and Garden Improvements

Last weekend was hot! Hot here = in the high 90s, though I wouldn't be surprised if we hit 100 on Saturday. Still, we had a full weekend:

Friday:
-Spent the evening at trivia night. It was a trivia night that focused on seeds and plants (ie - a review of 7th grade biology class). We won third place! We won some herbs.
Saturday:
-Grocery shopping in the morning.
-Spent the afternoon at a soccer tournament/environmental fair.
-Listened to the Nebraska game.
Sunday:
-Brunch at our favorite restaurant, Ama, with some friends.
-Afternoon in the garden.

 Not a bad weekend eh? On Sunday afternoon we made some improvements to our garden, including the addition of this hand-made bird feeder:

Here are the herbs we won on Friday night in their new home. Red basil and rue. I have no idea what rue is, do you?

And here's an addition to our fence! It was an attempt to make Bay feel a little more restricted in our backyard. It's had very limited usefulness since Bay has realized he can move the sticks around with his nose but it still looks cool. Some of those little sticks are still alive and will hopefully grow into a cool bush/fence mixture.

And here are Zach and Bay hanging out in the backyard.

Next weekend we're heading to the lake to celebrate Thanksgiving, Malawian style. The gas shortages have returned to Malawi so it's entirely possible that once we get up there we'll run out of gas and be stuck there forever (which actually wouldn't be so bad). Wish us luck!
