Fun with a friend

Alena's friend Maren came over last week to play. It wasn't too warm, but we thought we could play outside for a little while because at least there was no snow. Yesterday it was finally nice in the evening, plus with daylight savings time (even though it makes for an exhausted morning) Alena and I had time to do a little gardening. She helped me take straw off of the strawberry plants. The neighbor was sitting on top of his camper and yelling at dogs. It was an entertaining night.

Alena has been working on making a toddler nest out of this bale of straw for awhile.

I put the girls to work scrubbing potatoes for lunch. They got a little wet.
