Check out these beauties. Growing tall, strong, fuzzy stalks. Really leafin' out. My husband says I'm hired. YESSSS.

I let the kids play with the rice bucket again today -- they love it. So much. But then they get kinda crazy. Peter's pretend propeller somehow got into the bucket and rice began to fly. Abort mission. Back to base.
