grow giant kingdom grow

i just thought i should say that i am anxiously awaiting my next visit to the kingdom.

i began working on the sign last week and i feel like the kingdom isn't complete until the sign is completed.

i was also thinking that if we are growing in the giant kingdom, shouldn't there be a giant king or queen??? perhaps king or queen would be a suiting name for the pumpkin...we could pick a famous queen/king or just call it pumpkin king/queen.
just something to think about

oh i just can't wait to see if our little sprout has grown more, or if there are more sprouts....i'm so excited, like a proud parent

toiled

this weekend we toiled
and tilled
in the sun
all day long

we dug a trench
and built a fence

we tilled some more
and added water

a gate
some mounds
some seeds in the ground

add a little sun
lots of love and care

and in a short while the giants will appear
