So how are you feeling after the hot hot weekend! Those hot days make me feel so sleepy and lethargic. It sure was hard getting back to school after a relaxing weekend. I finally got little Diesel back from the mechanic in Camrose - I had a great time taking a little road trip with just little H. I listened to my favourite podcast on the way there. Have you listened to 'This American Life' from NPR? If you like stories and storytelling, I would highly recommend this podcast. Very interesting.
Earlier this spring Sal built a fence around half of our driveway (we went from four car spaces down to two), and then he built 6 large deep planters. Instead of having a plot in the community garden this year, we planted veggies in the new boxes. We've got lettuce, peppers, carrots, peas, zucchini, and cucumber. Take a peek (there are some flowers scattered around too!):
One of my favourite pots - Martha Washington's and pansies!
My begonias - I mostly love the pots I planted them in:
We are growing wheat in the fire pit again:
Look at all of those strawberries already! We've got three plants like this already:
One of two lettuce boxes:
Our pepper plants - kind of hard to see but there are so many peppers already:
Of course, there is so much more to see! You will just have to drop by sometime...seriously! Please drop by!
I also got that WIP that I mentioned a few days ago finished tonight. Since baby H has been rolling over like crazy lately up in her crib and has been kicking off all of her blankets, I made a 'sleeping sack' out of this book. I made it out of some Japanese squares I bought ages ago, as well as the cutest bumblebee fabric.
I haven't been able to test it out on little H yet as she was sleeping when I finished it tonight, so I had to use my next favourite model:
Mitch, my old faithful Cabbage Patch Kid. I think he really likes it - look at the smile on his face!
Have a good Tuesday!
