Digging and delving

This has been what we have mostly been up to. Digging up our vegetable patches and flower beds for new planting.  I so, so enjoy digging up the soil and having muddy hands - I could stay out there all day.  As I dig, the boys delve.  

They search for worms..

and treasure.  

Seriously, this garden is full of treasure.  I didn't put it there!  We suppose either a pirate once lived here or that the gnomes like us so much that they keep putting treasure in the soil for us to discover.

We even found a 1912 1 penny coin today.  The boys have stashed it in a special place and I will ask them if they will bring it out again so I can take a picture of that lovely find.
