Rabbit Hunting in the Garden

What are little boys made of, made of?

What are little boys made of?

Rabbit hunting

Camo

Bright orange so the other hunters can see them

Lying in the dirt

Big plans

Whispered Conversations so as not to scare the rabbits

Loooooong hunting trips that start fifteen minutes before supper

Supper in the garden

Meanwhile, two parents smiled at the thought of a quiet dinner on the deck with a bowl full of freshly chopped salsa to share.  Paper plates instead of elegance?  At this point, that’s just worth smiling about because hey, fewer dishes!

Fresh salsa

Five minutes later, two boys were all done hunting, hungry for refills and asking for lots more of that fresh salsa.

That’s what little boys are made of, made of.

    And I am trying to not envy your gorgeous, lush, abundantly-producing tomato plants! Mine are producing reluctantly, but the vines got hit with blight and they look terrible, plus a storm broke down two of my stakes. *sigh* Next year will be better…

    Cute little hunters! And the delicious looking tomatoes were a little distracting!! 🙂 We had no garden this year but even on a good year they wouldn’t look anything like yours!!

    Your GARDEN!!!!! Seriously. I would PAY you to either can tomato juice for me or simply freeze tomato chunks for me to process. I am not kidding. I have been wishing I could find someone with an over-abundance of tomatoes.

    Also fun evening–even if it lasted for 5 min. 😉 What size boots does Adam wear? Would he like a pair of fireman boots like Liam has?

      Adam is ready for a size four, but he won’t want the boots. The boys dislike all things fun and want only boring grownup stuff. Even Liam doesn’t think his are cool. “They’re just too busy for me,” he says. Crazy, opinionated kiddos.
