After three weeks of bitter, unseasonable cold weather that followed our balmy, unseasonable warm weather in March, it was time to dig a hole or two ...
... actually there were about seventy (70) of them! It seemed like every other day the UPS or USPS truck paid a visit with another shipment from Gurneys, the Arbor 
Day Foundation or the Kansas Forest Service. Most were small, bare-root plants but we gave them big holes with lots of wiggle room to grow. So just what went into these holes?- 10 fruit trees
- 25 thorn-less honey locust trees
- 25 currant bushes
- 10 pine trees
- and a host of other small flowers and vegetables
...
and on top of all that, we got the boxes built for Paige's lasagna garden. They'll be perfect for growing spaghetti squash.
It was way too cold to do any serious yard work Saturday so we decided to get cultured instead. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art near the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City offered such a venue. A fascinating place offering more artwork and statues than you can shake a stick at. Of course it was Tyson that received the greatest education ... after all, who would have thought that an art museum would have 
so much ... well ... artwork based on the human body! Needless to say, those were the exhibits that he felt the most uncomfortable with and whooshed right past (Cody preferred to linger though ...). At least Tyson felt comfortable standing next to the Badmitten sculptures. Oh, and Paige won't be bringing the other Cub Scouts there for their Artist pin when they enter the Webelos program.
