It was a rainy weekend

" Too wet to go out and too cold to play ball. So we sat in the house and did nothing at all..."

It was really wet all week here but not so cold. On Saturday we made it into Atlanta for a fun day at the zoo.

 It was a perfect day for an outing and the family had a wonderful time. The weather couldn't have been better. It was kind of overcast and not too warm.

There was a petting zoo and a wonderful little playground full of kids for the boys to play with. The carousel was a hit as was the train around the little train around the park. And of course they enjoyed seeing all the wonderful animals that the zoo had to show us. From tiny little parakeets to giant tortoises and all the primates and meerkats and reptiles one could hope to see in a day.

Sunday there was more rain, but not before we were able to harvest our carrots. As sad as the germination rate in the carrot patch was, we were still able to harvest a couple of pounds of carrots. I am hopeful that the fall planting will be even better.
